I love seagulls and always called them Churchills because of their walk and appearance–this one looks less formal!

As you know my entry has been inadvertently published prematurely but now I set the pingback. 😀
That desatured robin looks wonderful – I go now and see if I can find a photo to play with.
I know we shouldn’t anthropomorphise animals but that osprey has a withering look, I’m shaking in my shoes…

Lovely collection! The osprey looks fierce! I learned anew thing today 🙂 That the thrush with the red breast is called an (American) robin. The European robin is a much smaller bird, so I got a bit confused and intrigued. 🙂

That is interesting to learn. I bet you were a bit confused.
