This is a black-backed gull often found around here. Bigger than the ordinary white seagull. He was sitting on a rock under the cliff where we had stopped for a picnic. It was the entrance to an important river that came from the distant mountains 40km away.
Thankful for:
I bought the picnic lunch from a supermarket but honestly it had no taste like if it was really homemade. Next time....
You’re very good at picnic food normally but can understand why you skipped homemade this time….John will appreciate yours much more next time. Still worth it though to get out in the lovely weather . Stunning water colour of course!
@happypat Both of us are abnormally tired at the moment, Pat. John might be with fighting an infection as well as the bladder treatment and me with the eye. I think when you are older you are more affected by things. Had nana naps after this outing!
@dide You know my weakness, Dianne - the reason I suggest a picnic is because we can have egg sammies. None this time - bought bacon and egg pie - tasteless.
The gull looks quite happy perched on that rock. Beautiful colors in this shot. Sometimes a picnic in a nice spot is worth it, even when the food isn't great.
Sorry your picnic lunch was not up to par. Perhaps it was better than having nothing?
