Intrusion

Never seen a seagull here on our bird table but today after hearing close screeches that can only come from a seagull! I looked out and took this picture after another seagull tried to land and got short shift!
Thankful for:
a quiet day after a bad night. I will recover!
Like the Gull.beating a hasty retreat.. nice capture..

@julzmaioro There was a lot of serious wing flapping but no noise!

Just in time to get the one flying off. Great shot.

The seagull heard about your great food you provide....porridge?!

Stormy weather ahead Maggie! We always say if the seagulls come inland it’s a bad sign weather wise! I know you are only a short step from the sea but it’s perhaps a clever weather forecasting bird! It has very red feet!

An amazing capture of the one that sitting!

I’m so sorry to hear you had a bad night. I hope things are getting back in good shape for you now.

@grammyn Thank you Katy - back on track now!

@happypat Yes I noted that too and as they have duck feet, it must be difficult to stand on the top of this pole!

@happysnaps @ludwigsdiana I normally put out porridge but if I have fat scraps from the meat, I cut them up and put them out. Some odd starling must have told Master Seagull about this!

They come quite far inland over here but I haven't seen them in my Pennsylvania neighborhood yet. They are scavengers so wherever there is garbage, you'll find them (here that is- not in your backyard!). Good catch!

@olivetreeann Your bracketed comment was good, Ann! I may talk a lot of garbage but I don't have it in the garden!

The one on the pole looks like a bird statue while the other one looks awesome in flight .

@bruni He was desperately trying to balance with his webbed feet on top of a pole, Bruni! There was a lot of wing flapping going on!

I like the movement you captured.
