Looking across the rocks at Little Bay Beach to the Pacific Ocean, in the eastern suburb of Little Bay. A warm winter's day brought a few swimmers to the beach yesterday but they were vastly outnumbered by these seagulls.
I have been away from Australia for a while and am not looking forward to returning to work, laundry and cooking, but oh I miss those beaches and seagulls!
Wow, that's a beautiful scene. You don't see them sitting on the water that much. My local gulls used to live in a huge carpark to a shopping complex with a drive-thru McDonalds and lots of lovely French Fries littered all over the place that made a delightful herring gull's breakfast.
PS I once ended up having a stupid debate with some Australians about the size of seagulls. They said I must have been tripping to call them "enormous birds"... which they thoroughly believed until they took a trip to the English seaside and saw how gigantic our gulls actually are... Apparently most Aussie gulls are tiny in comparison ;-)...!
Lovely!

Seagull are flying rats. Still a great sight
ReplyDeleteJames Wei, I thought it was pigeons that were flying rats. :) These seagulls were playful and looked quite cute splashing about in the water.
ReplyDeletemaybe gulls are just sea-faring pigeons
ReplyDeleteI like seagulls. Nice to see them here today.
ReplyDeleteI have to wake up from my jet lagged self to check that you were not in my neighbourhood.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness a seagull convention. I wonder what topic they are discussing? Probably "Dinner"!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot, Jim!
