Malheureusement souvent nos libertés sont parquées dans le noir des désenchantements, par le bon vouloir des autres, pour notre salut, il ne nous reste plus que la lumière fugace de l’espérance contenue, car l’espoir je n’en n’ai plus, la vie n’est qu’une aporie, l’espérance un simulacre pour continuer à souffrir, en silence s’il vous plaît !

Weymouth, July 2020

 

This wasn't what I had planned. I have a California Gull in flight which predates my other "first bird" in flight by a year. But, when I clicked on it, this came up instead.

 

Anyway, my relationship with gulls has been a love/don't like one from the beginning when, on the east coast, a Herring Gull stole half my sandwich from me while I was taking a break on the quay outside the factory. No lunch trucks in those days, so I went half hungry until quitting time.

 

Anyhoooo, they're noisy. They're thieves. Wait a sec. That's what I said about jays. Okay, they noisy thieves, one of which crapped on a brand new jacket on the Monterey boardwalk! There, that's sufficient.

 

But, they're also beautiful once having reached adulthood. We have quite a few species, but the California Gull is one of the few that comes inland to this neck of the ... Strait. This one was parked at the Duck Pond on the Carquinez Strait in Martinez. He wasn't going to be bothered flying off. That was left to all the plovers and stilts. Instead, he was fishing, and I was following ... for five minutes. Have to thank him for just sitting by the bank.

 

Btw, in Europe, the most common name for a gull is the Mew Gull. As I said to somebody this morning, isn't that redundant, a Gull Gull?
