Me And My One Legged Shadow P1185315

Yes it did only have one leg. We often see seagulls with missing feet or legs. They seem to adjust quite well.

Aw sad but I supposec they very often stand on one leg so he has probably had a lot of practice before he lost one of his legs.

[Diana]

Fabulous focus on the eye and a great shadow.

[Beverley]

Like Vesna I wonder why so many seagulls have only one leg! Great capture.

[Carole Sandford]

Oh how sad!

[Merrelyn]

@illinilass @vesna0210 Google tells me that it is often caused by entanglement in discarded fishing line.

[Wylie]

Just when you think they have one leg, they put the other one down! but yes, I think there are lots of accidents in fishing paraphernalia.

[Neil]

Superb capture, love the shadow.

[haskar]

It's sad but very common. Great details and shadows.
