Birds landing, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

There is a tiny lagoon on the beach, just opposite the landfill on Baden Powell drive which I often drive past. In the morning it is covered in Seagulls and small birds enjoying the shallow waters.

Today I stopped to take a pic of them, and I gaught this show of the two birds fighting (or possibly mating). I really don’t know Seagulls too well, but they constantly literally flying into each other and almost chasing each other away.

It was an interesting site, and I think it makes quite a nice photo.

Today, we had breakfast at the Barnyard in Steenberg. They have a small selection of animals and birds for the children to look at and feed; including ducks, geese, chickens, a few pigs and even a couple of goats. This bright yellow bird was living in the avery.

By the way, the food is good, but the service is about the worst you can get.

Day 166: Seagull Landing, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

A seagull caught just as he was landing in shallow water in Zandvlei, Cape Town. It it such a wonderfully calm day today (especially after the howling wind yesterday). I was just walking around the vlei, enjoying the sun on my back, and taking a few shots of the birds.

Here are two more:

Seagull in flight; notice the reflection in the water.

And finally, another Seagull in flight. In the background is Park Island with Marina da Gama in the far background.

A horse and cart filling up with petrol :-)

Actually he was getting the tires pumped.

Day 148: Birds in Flight, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

Seagulls caught in flight early in the morning. I think that they had found some food on the beach, because they were going crazy.
