Feathered Friends

Seamus the catwalking Seagull

Hello Hello feathered friends and all sunny people of the Hive

Sometimes I take pictures knowing where I am going to use them, but not sure when!

This is the case of this wee seagull. Being a coast dweller I have long been around to seagulls and they are by and large a bloody pest. However they can still look fluffing cute. I think Seamus looked quite photgenic, do tell me what you think at the end!

You will see why when we get there...

The Boogey (1).png But first, let's head down to the beach...

I was actually out for a stroll and was taking some other pictures down on the seafront or esplanade.

The Firth of Forth which is the body of water is pretty busy. We have Grangemouth refinery up the road so you can usually see a few tankers in the water not too mention drilling platforms from the North Sea that have not been rented out.

So there we have a local seagull, he goes by the name of Seamus.

He likes to strutt his stuff on the the catwalk...

I am pretty sure he is a herringgull. Our coast used to be teaming with herring but over fishing has led to the decline of the Silver Darlings.

Seagulls meanwhile are protected. So even though they are pests, nothing seems to be done about them.

I had to pop in that shot ....

Talk about knobbly knees 🤣🤣🤣

Well I think it was a more a case of Seamus showing me his fluffy ass!

When the sky is blue they do look quite vivid pictures of Seamus.

And like any good model he does have a favourite side.

At times you can see how vicious they can be with their beak, look at that profile, almost eagle like!

Okay so not that eagle like, but it does show why they can rip open a packet of fish and chips in no seconds flat!

Yes I am looking at you Seamus. I think this is called giving me the evil eye.

Just look at that, the cheeky fluffer showed me where the life preserver was in case I fell in the water, as unlike him I can't just fly out of harms way!

So there we have it. That was Seamus strutting up and down the esplanade wall or in his case his catwalk!

I do hope you liked this little meander on the seafront whilst we watched Seamus the seagull strut his stuff on the catwalk.

This post though, is an entry for this week's Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 163 hosted by the wonderful @nelinoeva in the fantastic Feathered Friends community on Hive.

And I shall pick this one for the entry

It was very hard to choose, I did think of one of him strutting on the catwalk, but I choose him trying to look all tough!

What do you think? Was that your favourite?

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!

She's not a pest, the pest is us hahaha.... and the poor thing has arthritis. That must be from eating junk food.
@luchyl(74)· 862d
The seagull was catwalking indeed, lol. Imagine her short tiny legs doing the catwalk. Tengo this cracked me up but they're beautiful pictures 🤣
@fisam23(54)· 863d
I think it's a great deal taking pictures, especially when you are out of your abode. Well, I thought a Seagull is just an ordinary bird and never knew it has the ability to rip a fish apart in split seconds. Nice shots! #dreemerforlife
@aaalviarez(74)· 863d
I like the level of detail in the images. The sound of these birds is very peculiar to these coastal areas. Regards @tengolotodo
@qwerrie(78)· 863d
Marvelous close-ups!
@thebighigg(78)· 863d
Nice shots! Seagulls really can be pests can't they?
@beckyroyal(69)· 863d
Seamus sure looks cute exceot when he is giving the evil eye😂
@nelinoeva(75)· 864d
Such a model! Really looks like he is posing on the catwalk. LOL. Seagulls are pests here too, but are they protected? I have to find out. They are just something we get used too. It is a pleasure to read your post and thank you so much for your entry!🙂
@daniasi(72)· 864d
It really a wonderful bird and good looking to.

Yes I am looking at you Seamus. I think this is called giving me the evil eye., I guess its no evil eye, they are enticing. Cute bird.

Wonderful pictures to fix my eyes, thanks friend, do have a wonderful week.
@miprimerconcurso(72)· 864d
Hello @tengolotodo Although we have a coast in the city where I live, there are no seagulls here, if we want to see them we have to travel to the south of the country where my uncle Ivan lives They are beautiful birds, and I love their looks. Beautiful photographs
@joanstewart(75)· 864d
Slightly fluffed up giving you the evil eye now that is catch of the day !LOLZ

Seamus keeps you on your toes never take your eye off your fish and chippies when walking along the bay!

!LUV have a great day!
