Ah, seagulls! I live a few blocks from the ocean, so I see and hear them all the time. They add a certain charm to the urban environment but can be quite annoying if you try to have a beach picnic. They're clever and always keeping an eye out for your goodies.

I enjoyed reading more about these birds. It will make beach strolls more interesting. Here's a snapshot of a seagull I recently caught on the way to some mischief, no doubt.

Lucky you! I crave nature more as the years past. Obviously, I love animals. These wily birds amuse me. I could try to stare them down, but why? I like the way they behave. Last week I was sitting on the Lifeguard's chair and could see my sandals under my own chair. A gull stealthily approached my sandals and actually lifted one off the ground, I guess to see if the shoe was edible. It wasn't😆.

Thanks for commenting, and thanks for the picture. Nice.

They must also have sharp vision or good smell because they show up more often when I have food around

Yes, I was waiting for ice cream when I spotted the seagull coming my, so I had seconds to react. Snap!

They're basically my alarm clock. 😆

What's your camera again? I kinda want it now. I remember it was something rugged as it seems you like having those devices. Also, I wish I have that kind of natural alarm clock!

It's an olympus tg6 but olympus doesn't exist anymore! It's now called Om System, so I guess I now have a historical relic. :D
