Seagull beach day

I don't shoot birds very often. And it is not that I don't like it, or don't want to. But because when I have to choose once lens to take with me for a walk, I will most likely pick the macro one.

One the way to one of our usual shooting spots we stopped by a beach that went just a few times before. And yea.. wrong lens.. but those seagulls looked so cool that day that I had to take some photos anyway.

On the photo below, in the very back you can see Cabo Espichel. A very cool spot to visit if you have a chance.

It was still early in the day and it look like they just wanted to warm up on the morning sun.
The beach was almost empty with just a few people walking around with their dogs or just catching some fresh air. A bit further away few surfers were trying them.

Most of them were hanging out in a group. There was a few lonely ones here and there. All of them facing the sun.

This one is done. Time to look for something to eat.
Prepare for lift-off...

Can you spot the surfer? ☝️

The waves were pretty cool - quite angry and splashy.
This is why I like winter beaches. They are almost empty, the sand is smooth and the waves show who is the boss.

She is! As Steven the seagull, he is focused to get food from the guy from the window. Well, your drawing maybe represents him ;)

Straight up the second pair of seagulls from the right. Did you see the great white behind the surfer? 😂

It doesn't really matter you had wrong lens. The photos are just brilliant. You have captured these gulls in a best possible way. And the surfer. 😉
I love the gull who was taking off, like plane, or better to say floatplane 😀

Thank you! :) Next time I will try to remember to get the correct lens though and catch them really close :D (both birds and surfers).
There are also other small birds that are waiting to be photographed.

I haven't been to the beach in a long time, after reading your post. I also want to go to the beach tomorrow.
The stories through each of your photos, it's something very special And I've also seen you rarely post black and white photo articles. @ewkaw

I should go there more often myself, but in summer it is just too crowded for me.
Yeaaaa I know.. I try to post BW twice a week but not all photograph turn well after the conversion to monochrome. So I keep them colour. I will fix it tough :) Thanks for noticing :D
