Some young women on College Green have had to flee from their picnic because it's been commandeered by seagulls.

#Seagulls gather on wet sand at #Zandvoort and the #NorthSea, wings lifted, waves behind them, reflections stretching softly under the sunset.

This evening we spent time at Manhattan Beach. It was beautiful but I made a rookie mistake. The Pacific Ocean took me for an involuntary mini-swim ... not enough to be scary, just enough to get me and my stuff as wet and salty and sandy as you could imagine.
Water is strong. My friends were there to make sure everything was OK.
While we're on the subject of baby birds, check out this cutie of a seagull. I'm going to say that this one is entering juvenile status, as it has lost its floofy look and the feathers are smoothing down, but it's still tan with brown spots, and the beak is dark. ๐ค ๐ค ๐ค ๐ชถ
