If at first you don't succeed.......give up!

I'd been sitting in the café at WWT Arundel watching this gull trying to pick up that ;are pebble without success. It must have tried a dozen times or more before it gave up.

I think it's best viewed large. Thanks for looking and have an enjoyable day.

I think it might have been trying to make a nest in the pebbles........but who knows!. It entertained me while I drank my coffee :-)

Oh it's only a youngster, which is why it probably couldn't work out how to keep that stone. It was probably because the stone was bigger than the youngster had envisaged.

He's not fully adult yet, Keith. Give him a chance. This time next year he'll be able to readjust the whole beach.
PS I saw a twisted hazel with female flowers on it this week. keep checking. ;-)
