A grey overcast day on the beach today. We arrived yesterday afternoon at high tide, so this was our first day down on the sand. The gulls descended for their morning meal as the tide began to recede and Peter began to hunt the tide pools for creatures to examine. They will merit a macro day before too long!

great shots...you should check out sherij's blog...she has lots of birds. dadlak · 2008-08-11: 13:17

Wow, #2 and #3 looks amazing! I've never seen gull eating crab. #6 is also interesting. astrobrojler · 2008-08-11: 14:36

Such fantastic captures! I love the second one especially. ncshutterbug · 2008-08-11: 16:56
