Cottesloe Beach seagulls.. so this is what it's going to be like for the next three weeks, a bird can't enjoy a puddle drink in private without a camera clicking.. still, there will be benefits, all those weird and wonderful man made objects to perch and poo on :) Must admit this is the first time I've noticed that seagulls have a pattern of white spots on their black tail feathers. Looking forward to visiting Sculpture by the Sea on Sunday. Have a good weekend, take care and stay safe..
Visit James to see more Weekend Reflections from around the world..
Gulls will be gulls.
ReplyDelete...beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThese reflections are great, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThe white spots are actually on the wing-tips rather than the tail. They are sometimes called "mirrors" by birders. When I was a boy gulls were only seen inland when they followed the plough, the rest of the year you didn't see them. I think we used to admire their graceful beauty far more in those days, before they started hanging around landfill sites and making a nuisance of themselves in towns.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots!
ReplyDeleteI wonder do they peck at their reflections in water as some birds do when they see their reflections in glass.
ReplyDeleteSuper catch of those gulls, Grace!
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
ReplyDeleteDon't we ongoing discover little things that went unnoticed before...?!
Hugs,
Mariette
I love how your eye stays fresh!
ReplyDeleteThat seagull has a great reflection. They will take fresh water where ever they find it. Looking forward to seeing more of the sculptures. Some of them are really terrific.
ReplyDeleteNice reflection indeed.
ReplyDeleteGood reflections.
ReplyDeleteThey can be very mean, I have to wash my windows a lot! ☹ While we are on the beach, they come and grab the chips from your hand if you don't pay attention. Happy weekend Grace!
ReplyDeleteThe joy of pooing on sculptures, you made me laugh, Grace 😂
ReplyDeleteOh, I´ve never noticed those white dots, either, will have a look next time.
Funny pics and excellent refletions too !
ReplyDeleteI wonder what kind of gull this is.... he has a black beak.
ReplyDeletegreat shots Grace. and you made me laugh ;-). I like that other thing reflected, wondering what it is - a fountain, an architecture...
ReplyDeleteHe does look a bit indignant in that last shot! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat cool picture of seagull.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Very pretty reflection, yes always those clicking photographers...
ReplyDeleteOkay..I am going to have to look for white dots...problem is I now live inland and would not be able to locate a sea gull. Wonder if pigeons have tail dots?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Sculptures By the Sea...envy you.
I do love reflections and you have perfect ones here. Hope that all is well over there, Diane
ReplyDeleteYep we have the same birds here, funnily enough lol but they are just everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos, I love how I can see those seagulls reflecting in that water!
ReplyDeleteGreat closeups. That reflection in the first pic is really gorgeous
ReplyDeleteYep, out for a jaunt and enjoying life.
