Nesting Gulls

A mamma gull sitting on her nest on the riverside stones. At this time of year the nests are everywhere but very difficult to see unless the bird is sitting on it. A strange place to choose, we always think, as that part of the river often gets flooded in high water.

Birds are not always that smart with their nesting chooses..

Must be a special seabird to make a nest on the ground! I almost thought it was a ferret or stoat!

She’s living in hope I expect! The gulls are busy quite late in the year....

Lovely shot.

She blends in pretty well.

Great shot- it's funny where birds nest sometimes. You really wonder what they're thinking or their internal GPS says!

[Islandgirl]

What a sweet find!

I can see how the eggs might be camouflaged in the stones. Good capture.

[Taffy]

Aw...she's so cute sitting there and watching you so closely.
