The Birds

One way or another, it was going to have to be a bird today. I nearly went for this shot of a Jackdaw disappearing into a chimney at Lanhydrock House while his friend watched on, and thought about this one of a buzzard that passed overhead this morning, cropped to within an inch of its life (the picture rather than the buzzard). When it came down to it though, I couldn't resist this seagull and his prize catch, captured at Fowey this afternoon.

Edit
After taking this I watched him kill and then polish the starfish off. He actually had a seagull friend with him but that one only got to eat one of the legs. Finders keepers, I guess!
