The seagulls found themselves a nice log for traveling down river - no need to waste energy when you don't have to - or maybe they just wanted to keep their feet dry.
At first glance, I thought they'd found themselves a tiny island. After reading your commentary, I see it's a floating log. Definitely something one doesn't see every day. Great timing finding and capturing them this way!
Ha, Ha! This is so cute. Sea Gulls can be so entertaining! We have watched them come in for a landing when the water was frozen over. It was very comical. Yours look quite content to be getting a ride!
Lovely capture it give them time to preen themselves.
