Taken a few months back in the Kent coastal town of Whitstable. In general seagulls in the British coastal resorts have a bad reputation for their aggressive behaviour, well deserved I should add. Should you just be tucking into your lovely bag of chips (fries) you'd better beware that if you take your attention away for even a second then chances are one of these guys will be swooping in for a free meal. It can scare the bejesus out of you! And if they don't steal your food they just might leave you with something else in the form of an embarrassing white streak down your back, or heaven forbid, on your head!

I'm going to be leaving this message on my next few posted images. This is to let the photographers that I follow know that due to the immense amount of time it takes me to go through all the photos that appear in my Flickr stream each day I am setting my stream to show only one image per day per person. It's either that or get Flickr burn-out. Apologies in advance if your photos don't get as much of my attention as they used to. Hopefully people will understand my reasons for doing so. Thanks.

Shot at Kent Falls in Kent, Connecticut with the Olympus E-M1, Mark II along with the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 pro lens.
Enchanting and iconic, bluebells are a favourite with the fairies and a sure sign spring is in full swing. The violet glow of a bluebell wood is an incredible wildflower spectacle.
Originally named for the Chart well on the property, the 800 acres of rolling farmland and woodland have been part of Chartwell since 1848 when the Colquhoun's owned the property. It wasn't until 1921 that the land was split into smaller lots at auction, with the house and 82 acres being bought in 1922 by Churchill.
Appreciate the beautiful Bluebells in Kent this Spring!
Bluebells are associated with ancient woodland and are often used in combination with other species as an indication of how ancient a wood is.
They tend to grow on woodland floors, although as new colonies develop you may also see them in parklands, hedgerows, fields, and even along road verges.
They reach their greatest densities in the UK’s woods where many thousands of blubs can exist in one area, creating the incredible blue carpets we fondly associate with spring!
