2016-01-09 (Day 009) Standing Sentry

At the park yesterday, I watched the seagulls who were sitting on Callendar Loch. They would sit bobbing on the water for ages... then at some invisble signal they would all rise together and fly to a different part of the water. Some time later this would repeat, and the birds would be back where they started.

Except for one. S/he stood on a little island of mud the whole time, just standing there and looking around. Had it not been for the head movements, I would have thought the gull to be a statue. It just stood there... quite un-nerving!
