I can't believe more than a year has gone by since I posted images like this one above, and it still makes me as nervous as it did then to see these little seagull chicks snuggled into the tops of the mooring posts in the harbour at
Sorrento Quay. It's especially nerve-wracking when mum flies off in search of food, but I noticed today that when they were alone if they stood up and moved about either mum or dad (or it could have just been a concerned neighbor) swooped in to keep them in line, phew! Hopefully your Friday will be a little less tense, take care and stay safe.....
For all the seagulls we get here - lots, in facy maybe too many :) - I have never seen a chick, and I'm surprised they're nesting so close to humanity. Nicely caught.

I do miss living where I did that was so close to the Sound, but we do have LOTS of seagulls, don't see the young ones, just their parents searching for food! I do love to watch them! They occasionally sit on the ledge outside the window here in my office and give me that questioning look -- "where's the food????". Great shots for the day! Have a great weekend, Grace!!
ReplyDeleteHow they're cute when they're babies!and how different they become when they grow!
ReplyDeleteWhat do they say...it takes a village; in this case it takes a flock of gulls to watch over the little ones.
ReplyDeleteat first I didn't realise what this was, the second photo gave me the answer. So cute those little things
ReplyDeleteNot much different from here, but it is difficult to see the very little ones around...
ReplyDeleteWell spotted! I've never really seen chicks - parents do a good job of hiding them.
ReplyDeleteOh so cute this lovely babys, loved it
ReplyDeleteCreative title of your article and good shots.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

Adorable. I would be nervous as well. A wind or a storm could easily get them blown away. Very cute little ones. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteCute little thing!
ReplyDeleteI'll clean up my Blundstones and post a pic one day soon.
Such great shots, Grace! I have never seen the babies...
ReplyDeleteThey are cute:)
ReplyDeleteI hope they will do well.
I think this might be the first time I have ever seen seagull chicks and I have lived in Florida my entire life! They are adorable.
ReplyDeletelast Christmas a pair of sea gulls made a "nest" on th eledge of a high rise building. My daughter's office were babysitting whenever the parents went out on a date.
ReplyDeleteThe nicest looking seagulls(chicks) that I've EVER seen. hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteYou have the soul of a mother, the eye of an artist, and the heart of a friend - for which I am grateful.

Well, I was going to make a humorous comment about them having the good sense not to step off the edge of their perch...
ReplyDeleteI'll just ditto what Cloudia said, all true!
