Hi Marek ~ Yes the seagulls at St Ives are as bold as brass and don't miss a trick, swooping down from above to steal ice creams out of the hands holding them, and going crazy for fish & chips too ~ There are signs all along the front asking people not to feed the gulls, but the gulls can't read! All the best ~ Nick
I speak as one who lost his chips to a seagull or three, many moons ago, at this spot and before their menace was generally recognised, so I have had a wary respect ever since!
This young gull has not learned to look out for the folks sitting eating chips or ice-cream. he looks a tad unsure of himself, but he'll soon learn - unfortunately.
HFF and a good weekend Nick.
I like this very much, and I did find the fence under the row of street lamps on the left.
Certainly the seagulls look cute, but they are worse than other diverse minorities (which I won't mention in the interests of political correctness) for stealing things!
Hiya Peter ~~~ Yes the fence is in plain view but rather disguised at the same time ~ Gulls rely upon their ingenuity much like us ~ who wins is open for debate ~ Thanks for your good wishes ~ Hanwe
A very beautiful picture! I see this disguised fence.
I like the composition very much!
Maybe the young gull is learning life...
But I always remember "Jonathan Livingston Seagull ", when I saw a seagull!
Ah yes for most seagulls, life consists simply of eating and surviving... But Jonathan’s story shows us that, if we follow our dreams, we too can soar!!
HFF and have a great weekend!!
