Birds

While we were away at Easter, I saw lots of crows and seagulls.  I think they were attracted by all the food scraps around, but I took the opportunity to get a bit closer than usual.  Crows, especially, seem to be particularly suspicious and will fly away as soon as you get close enough to take a picture with more than a black dot in it! 

This crow’s profile looks quite scary

But from a distance it’s not so bad…

This seagull looks quite at home in an urban environment…

And I quite like the effect of this one.  It would be better with a total background of blue sky though.

And I include this because I like the effect of footprints in the sand:
