Fowl play
When I was in England this summer, we went to Brighton beach.
The seagulls there was as big as houses and as brave as lions.
These birds remind me that gulls just want to have fun.
Some of the birds flew so close you could feel their claws on your head.
In the words of Beyoncé, if you like it, you’d better put a ring on it.
The young gulls had lovely markings that made it easy for them to camouflage themselves among the pebbles of the beach.
This one appeared to be showing off by shaking his tail feathers.
And remember – for more bad puns, all you have to do is go to goo-gull!
More bad puns? It’s your tern at: Camera Critters.
Wonderful photos, I love the detail in the second.

Your photos delight.
These are beautiful.
Oh, I am very sorry that I can not just shoot.
I keep dreaming …

You did a great job of pulling all the puns together, I might be a gull-able reader, but you did well.

After reading Jonathan Livingston Seagall….I’ve always felt the joy of Seagulls. I find myself searching for Jonathan! Xxx

Methinks Lady Fi just wants to have pun.
A very fun post for Camera Critters, Fiona. I’ve always loved gulls, which often earn the scorn of lesser folk. LOL

The gulls in my “office” where I stop for lunch are amazingly friendly, perch on the wing mirror while I share my lunch with them…

Those gulls certainly are very friendly – or aggressive. They do blend into the pebbly beach – Dave
September 17, 2012 at 10:49
I LOVE THOSE PICTURES. FREEDOM ! ♥ My favourite : the second one. Love the contrast between the bird and the blue sky.
September 17, 2012 at 13:38
My favourite is the one of the gull in flight, where you have captured its feet and tail!!
September 17, 2012 at 15:19
