Confusion, there's certainly no seaside here!

It is very confusing to see these Kelp Gulls on a piece of farmland between the cows! They are about 15km's away from the ocean.

[*lynn]

nice clarity of the gulls and the cows ~ cool shot

[BarrieH]

maybe they've decided to move in with the sheep etc

[Dawn]

A lovely scene

[Margo]

When gulls came inland, we used to say it was going to rain!! Did it?

[Babs]

Maybe the gulls are on holiday.

[Pam Knowler]

WE have many gulls living around our area and Wellingborough is right in the middle of the UK as far from the coast as you can get!! They come inland as they know they can find food easily - especially from the landfill sights.

Grand shot Diana...Fav

[Denise Wood]

terrific find and capture :) fav

[Poppo Livy]

Grass Gulls?

[photogq]

it makes a cool photo.
what happened?
did they make it back to the ocean?

[Dione Giorgio]

Seems there is food for all. I don't think 15 km is much for a gull. Lovely shot.

[Connie Little]

They must be on holidays, after a change of scenery.

[sally agnew]

Something is attracting them, maybe the green grass :)

[Lou Ann]

In Florence, Italy our tour guide went on and on about the seagulls living in the city and damaging the statues.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice capture ...

[Merrelyn]

It makes an interesting shot, not species that you expect to find together :)

@777margo No Margo, unfortunately not.

[Diana]

@pamknowler That's interesting Pam, in the 11 years we are living here I have never seen any around. There was a huge gathering and they disappeared as quickly as they arrived.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice capture, they get in everywhere!

[Catherine P]

Love this "All Creatures Great and Small"!

[kay]

lol does look strange seeing both these together my gran would say its because its going to rain when seagulls come inland

[Suzanne]

How odd, was there a tractor about, they like to follow them here!

[Pyrrhula]

Plenty of worms , I supose. They are by the lot on the farmland when it is ploughed.

[Karly]

Great shot - very clear. I love seeing the two "flocks" together!

[Carole Sandford]

If we see gulls in land, we usually say that it must be rough at sea!

[Faye Turner]

Great shot!

[Jane Pittenger]

How interesting

[Peter Day]

Perhaps they want to keep their feet dry

[Julienne Jones]

Lovely to see. We have lots of different gulls that live inland these days. They seem to adapt well to anywhere that provides them with food!

[Claude Trew]

Lovely capture. Maybe they know something is coming.

[Islandgirl]

What a lovely composition!

[Andy]

Nice full photo

[KWind]

I like the layers of animals.

[katy]

A very weird juxtaposition of subjects gives you a very fun story

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Taffy]

What a fun capture! They two main subjects are as different as can be, so it has a lovely surprising feel to it.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Yes, these are definitely odd field mates. The cattle don't seem to mind the unusual company tho.

(Thanks for the comment shared on my Colorado mountain picture. I appreciate your visit.)

@bigmxx Thanks Michelle
