WOW! Great action capture Chris! Your timing is spot on!
It doesn't look like much of a day to be outdoors! #1277109

You're right John, it was the type of day to stay indoors. If it wasn't for all the good photo opportunities with the Seagulls we wouldn't have stayed out. #8683025

Chris, I totally agree with John - this really is a very fine action capture of a hungry 'gull!! I love how we can see the lovely rainy day scene in the background, too...

It must be quite a miserable existence for sea/coastal birds in inclement weather, so it's no wonder at all that they're looking for a cheap, hot meal when they can - lol!! ;o) #8685003

You sure get a "WOW" from ME TOO, Chris!!!

What timing!!!

So sorry I haven't been to visit much. This past two months I have done a lot of re-entering of old images to match the monthly theme. First humor then unusual shapes. Have had lots going on here...

Fun to visit you tonight!!! :)

Laura, I know only to well what it's like to be running out of time. Seems that's the story of my life lately. This is something I really enjoy doing, feeding & photographing Sea Gulls.
