Prawn Trawler

Had to go Raymond Terrace this afternoon to get a replacement gear wheel for our chain saw and then wandered down to the river to find a photo for today. Spotted this prawn trawler fisherman just returning to the wharf.

What a gorgeous little trawler, love the yellow and white, and the nets out the back with the seagulls and pelican, the reflections make it extra special. Back tomorrow!

Well spotted Babs, what a cute little trawler, looking very busy on board.

I do like this very much with the birds following behind. I wonder if the fisherman got a good catch today.

Looks so peaceful there! Lovely shot

[Babs]

@gerry Thanks Gerry. Fishing boats always have a gathering of birds behind them don't they.

[Babs]

@winnedreamer Thanks Nic. See you soon. The light wasn't very good for this shot, sun in the wrong place, don't you hate that. but this was the best.

[Babs]

@bugsy Thanks Heather. He was just gathering in his nets for the day which is why all the gulls and pelicans were following.

[Babs]

@joluise Thanks Jo. Hope he had a good catch. As he was gathering in his nets for the day the gulls and pelicans were lightening his trawl, so I hope he didn't lose too many.

[Babs]

@steampowered Thanks Paul. We do very well here for fresh prawns.

[Babs]

@tooki Thanks for checking out my photo.

[Babs]

@gypsy6 Clockwork you know!!

[Babs]

@elaine55 @angelat Thanks. It was only a small one man trawler and he was just gathering in his nets before returning to the wharf. The gulls and pelicans were helping him!!!

[Babs]

@k1w1 Thanks for checking out my photo Christine. Where is the suggestion page?

[Babs]

@mabuss @peadar @christinehosey Thanks for checking out my photo and for your lovely comments. It was peaceful down by the river. The pelicans and gulls were having a great time 'helping' him gather in his nets for the day.

@onewing Ace members have a suggestion page. Its based on tags we use and what images we have looked at.

[Babs]

@k1w1 Thanks for that

[Sharon]

[Babs]

@goosemanning Thanks again sharon. The fisherman was just gathering up his nets and the gulls and pelicans were 'helping'.

@marie65 The pelicans and gulls were flying in and out all the time the fisherman was gathering in his nets.
