Seagulls
Good Morning I hope life is treating you well, I'm doing fun frustrated as I always get over the winter months to cold to get out for many walks, but luckily i have many photos from the warmer months to edit and share while stick indoors like a hermit in the cold.
Well I hope I have enough photos to keep me going the warmer months i usually get out for lots of walks, but of course this year for a couple of months withthe surgery. a month in Hospital and then a few weeks recovering was a big downtime for photographer but lets see how I go, if I get stuck I can always go to previous years where i still have amny photos yet to be edited and shared
Now todays subject for this post is Seagulls, now as you know i occassionally go out trying to capture photos of birds, but focus more on Ducks, Geese swans herons etc, and I do not take that many photos of the birds we have most of here seagulls, perhpas because they are so common
But also because they can be such a pain, watc them if your eating food outdoors they are well known for swooping down and trying to pinch the food right out of your hands
They also perhaps from eating so much stolen food tend to expel a lot of waste shall I say and I have more than once had them fly over and spray their waste on me, and be warned if its on a leather jacket, clean it off quickly, from experience leaving it on while walking and baking in it can damage and ruin a nice leather jacket.
and also once well twice when I think about it a seagull has got over zealous flying down and has hit me on the face, once cutting my forehead which as I am taking blood thinners tends to look a lot worse han it was and blood was pouring down my face.
But that all said I do take the odd shot of them and will share a few shots of them in this post
two up on a roof and of course the mess they leave behind

Thinking about it i may have bene unfair to seagulls, I now think it was in NYC where i got hit in the face by a bird and the incident that cut my head was probably a pigeon and not a seagull
