I was taking a photo of this young gull and in the second photo he is looking at me. I was talking to him and, no doubt, he was looking for food!
We were at the seaside the other day and there were so many of them and it was great to see. They were looking for food and some people fed them while others were fearing them! In all my years, I have never had a bad encounter with them. Maybe they can sense a good person, I really don't know. But I have met countless people who hate them for no reason it would seem.
Those are the same seagulls as we see here. The young gull in your 2nd photo was really watching you :-)
ReplyDeleteYes they are quite common here. Yes he was watching me, great little bird. Thanks Giorgio :-D
DeleteI personally find them fun and very entertaining. My old email address had seagull in it, this being many years ago. When we had holidays in a caravan when we were kids, we used to enjoy feeding them scraps through the little skylight in the roof. Great memories and these are great photos.
ReplyDeleteI love them honestly. Haha that is cool. Good to have those happy memories :-D
Delete...they are always looking for food!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are, but so are we haha! :-D
DeleteThe muscles are not tense at all

ReplyDeleteI think so Irina. It is not scared or wary! They are wonderful birds :-D
DeleteThe seagulls we have here are mostly white...this is a cute one.
ReplyDeleteIt is a cute one. They are white here too mainly. This is a baby! :-D

Haha yes too much!!!
DeleteOf course ... we do believe that all our critter friends know the "good peoples from the others" ... he was saying "hello my friend" to you!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think so. I think he was and he posed for me to take the photos. Thanks :-D
DeleteGulls are no different from us…have to grow up, become independent, make a living, feed the kids……
ReplyDeleteHaha so true! All creatures really!
DeleteThey'll steal your food if you don't keep an eye on your picnic. Robbers and Bandits.
ReplyDeleteHaha not with me! They are trying to survive like us!
DeleteGreat pictures ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thanks Jan :-D
Deletethey are shameless hahaha
ReplyDeleteThey are brave and shameless haha! :-D
DeleteI love gulls and take many photos of them. They are wonderful at airborne thievery, perhaps that is why people dislike them. We've watched many a gull go into beach bags and steal and open bags of chips, etc. My husband has had two sandwiches stolen from his hand on the beach. He tends to prop his elbow on the chair while eating and this is an invitation to the gulls, he has also had a cup of french fries stolen from a tray he was carrying. It is funny when I think of these moments. I was pecked a bit on the head while walking the boardwalk a year or two ago. It didn't hurt, just surprised me, I think the gull thought my hair was food.
ReplyDeleteI am the same. So many photos. They are great birds not to be hated! Strange it went for your hair! That was a silly seagull!
DeleteJudging by its size and the grey colour, this one is about a year old. They turn fully white by age two.
ReplyDeleteI thought so. They are like this when they are young :-D
