Monday comes around so fast, but never fear, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to brighten the start of your week with the theme of; Our feathered friends.
The birds didn’t seem to be taking the challenge seriously, though, when I walked along the river in the park yesterday.
Usually thronging with gulls and ducks, the only ones on the water were a flock of geese and they wouldn’t do me the decency of coming close enough for a good shot.
Then when I did manage to capture a suitable avian subject, they seemed intent on camouflaging themselves.
There is a gull in this shot, for example…
…and a pigeon in this one…
…but you’d never know it to start with.
So I resorted to using a few shots of the gull family at work, whose lives I have been chronicling on Facebook for a few weeks.
What did you catch on the fly at the weekend?
Don’t be shy, let us all enjoy your pictures, it’s as easy as 1,2,3…

I liked the close-up of the seagull with its wings in the shadows.

I had to search for the Pigeon so now it’s my favourite. Here’s my contribution:

Those seagull chicks are wonderful. And that close up is great. What was she telling you (I assume it’s a she, seagulls are female in German) ? When I go biking I often see storks – which is nice because they are rather large. Grey herons are more difficult to spot and there are not as many around. But I got lucky: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2020/07/13/grey-herons/

I think she was telling me to “f*** off”, to be honest, she really is the world’s grumpiest gull.

That’s saying something. Seagulls are not known for their friendly character.
