This seagull was stepping out along the promenade at Dymchurch in Kent. It obviously thought it was king of the walk!
Gulls, often referred to as seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until the 21st century, most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. An older name for gulls is mew, cognate with German Möwe, Danish måge, Dutch meeuw, and French mouette; this term can still be found in certain regional dialects.
Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls, stout, longish bills, and webbed feet. Most gulls, particularly Larus species, are ground-nesting carnivores, which take live food or scavenge opportunistically. Live food often includes crabs and small fish. Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey. Apart from the kittiwakes, gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea. The large species take up to four years to attain full adult plumage, but two years is typical for small gulls. Large white-headed gulls are typically long-lived birds, with a maximum age of 49 years recorded for the herring gull.
Gulls nest in large, densely packed noisy colonies. They lay two or three speckled eggs in nests composed of vegetation. The young are precocial, being born with dark mottled down, and mobile upon hatching.
Gulls—the larger species in particular—are resourceful, inquisitive and intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure. For example, many gull colonies display mobbing behaviour, attacking and harassing would-be predators and other intruders. Certain species (e.g. the herring gull) have exhibited tool use behaviour, using pieces of bread as bait with which to catch goldfish, for example. Many species of gulls have learned to coexist successfully with humans and have thrived in human habitats. Others rely on kleptoparasitism to get their food. Gulls have been observed preying on live whales, landing on the whale as it surfaces to peck out pieces of flesh.

This dodgy duo have been seen behaving suspiciously in the local area and are wanted for questioning for a number of potential offences against property.
Their MO is to enter a garden whereupon the woman begins to behave oddly and starts digging up various plants or pots and moving them around to other flowerbeds and replanting them whilst her sidekick, the dog, keeps a strategic lookout as caught in this chance photograph.
They are not believed to be dangerous although the woman could well be unhinged as she is often heard spontaneously singing, humming and / or talking to the plants and herself as she moves them hither and thither. There is no better description of her but look out for a woman with very grubby hands and green fingers.
They are sometimes seen in the company of an ageing tramp who goes by the name of Magoo and whom people usually describe as a whack-job with a white stick. On no account approach this ne’er-do-well as he is almost certain to ask you for money, a hidden treasure map or your socks.
Any information to…..

Found this Garter Snake in the process of eating a Toad, from the time I found it to when he finished swallowing it, there was a much smaller Garter Snake right behind him watching as if waiting to see if there was gonna be leftovers but no such luck for the smaller Snake!

Had planned to do some sort of Vintage Horror movie style with the insane female holed up in the family home somewhere down the lane that no one travels after dark.. but even I cannot be in this grim realm for too long.. in game it was rather intense and disturbing.. hopefully a little of that was captured for those who like that sort of thing....The 2nd is probably my favorite of the three. anyway.. thanks for viewing!

The kelp gull (Larus dominicanus), also known as the Dominican gull, is a gull that breeds on coasts and islands through much of the Southern Hemisphere. The nominate L. d. dominicanus is the subspecies found around South America, parts of Australia (where it overlaps with the Pacific gull), and New Zealand (where it is known as the black-backed gull, the southern black-backed gull, mollyhawk – particularly the juveniles, or by its Māori name karoro). L. d. vetula (known as the Cape gull) is a subspecies occurring around Southern Africa. 29776

I posted this not because I think it's a particularly good photo, but I was just amazed. I know hummingbirds regularly eat insects to get a little protein, but I was amazed to see how wide open her beak was. It seems almost unhinged. She was moving fast too! Hard to keep her in frame.
Last night you were unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again!

The once verdant cornfields around here, the few that remain anyway, have withered into parched leaves and bone-dry stalks. They emanate eerie rustling sounds in response to even the slightest breeze. This is my favorite time of the growing season, even though it's the end phase. The visuals are simultaneously creepy and amazing. Yet I feel an odd sense of anxiety every time I hear a harvesting combine rumbling past the house. I always wonder if they are heading to one of the cornfields that I photograph. I have this completely unhinged sense of ownership for the fields I visit. The same feelings often develop around abandoned houses that I explore. For me it's a recurrent storyline that never ends well. Sooner or later I return to find only emptiness. The harvest is now over, but the emotion and even terror that played out here for me these past months lingers.
