Breakfast on the Lee

Two pigeons, one pile of grain, and a standoff that never became a fight. There was plenty of food for everyone on Sullivan's Quay, Cork.

I'm very excited about this quickly-snatched phone camera photo. We have #oystercatcher #chicks at our #school site. The kids, most of them, are transfixed by their antics. This daring chick came over closer to the classrooms today and we all had a chance to stand at the window and watch.
I also had a really good win about something else right at the end of the day so, even though my day was full-on, there have been two wonderful moments to celebrate. #nature #CoastalBirds #wildlife

A black-headed gull (Lachmöwe) claiming its favourite perch outside Historisches Museum Bremerhaven on the Geeste waterfront. Like many urban coastal gulls, it’s equal parts lookout and opportunist — always scanning for the next tide (or snack). // #BlackHeadedGull #ChroicocephalusRidibundus #Lachmoewe #UrbanWildlife #CoastalBirds #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #Bremerhaven #Geeste #HistorischesMuseumBremerhaven #NorthSea #Germany #StreetNature #BirdsOfPixelfed

I don't know what drew me in; the composition of the elements, or the peaceful situation.
In the end, it doesn't matter.

The Beach Inspector

Garylucas Beach in Co Cork was hit by 40kph winds this afternoon, with tall waves crashing on the beach. I took a few photos but retreated to the car as it was so cold. Within minutes the wind had ripped right through me.

Luckily, gulls are protected somewhat from the cold by their feathers and this gull stood in the water without a care in the world for several minutes.
