30-second shot 6 - Awesome August

This seagull was having a great time chasing off any other seagulls who might get between him and my chips. Unfortunately for him, while he was busy chasing and dancing, his friend snuck behind the bench and appropriated any scraps... (I took pics of the action for 30 seconds and picked the best one) This was our lunch break while tracking down the Mali in the City fibreglass elephants dotted around Melbourne.. look out for pics and info in another album soon

(PS Sorry I don't have @jenrobcarr's ability to work out what the seagulls are saying to each other - I do suspect it could be Harold and Ethel on holiday though... Jen - can you translate?)

(or friend me on Facebook to see them straight away - leave a message if you want my FB details)

[ShanneW]

[summerfield]

[Camille Bisson]

what a fantastic capture. love watching gulls and other birds. they have so much character although i do admit, i don't enjoy getting close to them.

[Lani 🌺]

Wonderful capture, love the wings outstretched & the other chatting away!

[Jennifer C]

Ethel and Harold at their best, arguing with each other!
Would love your facebook details, my email is on my profile if you would like to send me the details! x

[Netkonnexion]

[Shirley Chetwynd]

What a great shot this is Alia. Harold and Ethel sure get around, Jennifer spotted them in one of my photos in W.A LOL.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool capture.

[Phil]

Haha! I've not come across Harold and Ethel before - I shall be sure to watch out for them in future. Looks as if one is pretty cross with the other giving an exaggerated bow!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh boy- that's a don't mess with my food fight if I ever saw one!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Lovely to see Harold and Ethel having a holiday :o) xx

[Bev]

Fantastic capture! And a funny one. I've never seen seagulls fight. This is comical and quite good!

[Kitti Nelson]

This is my idea of a street shot - you found a couple of great characters in these two - Are Harold and Ethel a couple, or brother and sister?

[Giffy]

haha great shot and commentary

[Jeff Walker]

looks like he's taking a bow!
