Mary Deal
Wonderful shot capturing the flight of this evidently excited bird.
Lesley Evered replied:
Thank you Mary for such nice comments....I think you are right as they normally bring back just one fish and this one has two!
Kathryn Jones
A splendid shot! Those birds certainly have a hard time of it feeding their families. It is little wonder that they follow fishing boats and invade coastal towns where the living is easy for them!
Lesley Evered replied:
Yes, it must be hard work flying out to see, catching one fish, flying back over and over. What amazed me was that they could always find their partner and chicks in an absolute sea of birds. Thanks very much for your lovely comments and thoughts.
Joy Watson
