I arrived at the estuary to find this chase in progress. The crow had found a shellfish, and the gull wanted it. The chase went on for a good 5 minutes before the gull finally broke off the pursuit.

There's nothing like fresh live seafood to boost your appetite. I wasn't expecting to see live food markets in downtown Bangkok but to my surprise there were! It is nice to switch up from local rice dishes every so often.

White Rock Railway
The City of White Rock has a railway that runs along the waterfront. This single track rail line operates 24 hours a day and is operated by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) and is used by BNSF and Amtrak passenger trains.
White Rock has a moderate climate, with average daily high temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius in summer and 6 degrees Celsius in winter.
White Rock is named for a distinctive large white boulder on its beach near the promenade, a glacial erratic that migrated south during the last glaciation. The 486-ton granite boulder was kept white by shellfish-eating seabirds whose guano covered the rock, so much so that 19th-century sailors used it as a beacon. However, it is now kept white through monthly applications of white paint by the city parks department, and has been a popular graffiti target for over thirty years.
Legend.
The large, white rock is mentioned in the legends of the local Coast Salish peoples. One legend says that the white rock marks the landing spot of a stone that was hurled across the Strait of Georgia by a young chief It was said that he and his bride would move from Vancouver Island to wherever the rock landed to make a home together.

These 4 were about 1 km away so I'm not sure what they were doing but they were very intent on it! We had lunch with friends today at Waitati about 15 minutes north of our CBD but well within the bounds of the city.
Comments much appreciated!
Sometimes I am bowled over by a bird's abilitiy to find food in - to me at least - the most surprising places.
Here a carrion crow took off from a muddy bank beside a shallow lake; hovered for a second; dropped ankle deep into the water; and then surfaced pulling an enormous freshwater mussel from the mud.
On my last night in the Malaysian state of Terengganu, I was looking for dinner and came across this food-stall grilling these delicious shellfish.
