Description
Image taken in Namibia in March 2009.
After the fishing was done for the day, the leftover bait would be fed to the gulls who would slowly gather as the afternoon gets on. For this image my brother threw the bait up into the air and I snapped away happily! Not the sharpest of focus on the birds but I kind of like the sense of movement. They became vicious in their fight for a couple of fish heads!!! Really greedy little suckers!
Thank you for visiting and for your comments and favs on the Impalas I have uploaded yesterday!
Stay well!
Hugs

Proprio cosi' : dove c'e' da mangiare i gabbiani diventano famelici e caotici !

Wonderful capture here, Carin! The movement seems to set the pace for this shot.

Probably, the economy woes have hit them too! Great shot!

They look just like the gulls around here! They don't look South African! LOL Goes to show you that everyone and everything is really just the same all over the world. Love the composition in this. As you know, I do love most of the birds others think of as lesser animals. :-)

Ultra stellar capture of the avaricious avians as they battle for the bait, Carin!

WOW! If you're a Star Wars fan, you'd recognize Tattooine immediately...I expect to see Luke Skywalker (all sunburned with 1970s style hair) wandering into this shot. Funny how Tattooine (a fictitious planet) looks like an amalgam of Namibia and Tunisia...without gulls, of course! I love the landscape. It's incredibly alien and vivid, and its an excellent counterpoint to the fast-moving flying stomachs we all recognize as gulls. They're such wonderful birds. As a kid I liked them because they had a habit of dive-bombing kids on Chicago playgrounds. They like fish heads and french fries (chips?). Great, wonderfully evocative work.

Great idea for getting action. They are not big on sharing:)

I like it. It shows the in air action. Wonderful catch. Dana

Ah yes, reminds me of my juvenile "Gull Fishing" days. I used to tie a piece of meat to the end of my fishing rod line and toss it out. Off they would fly with it and talk about fight and complain. No sooner would one drop it than another would grab it, often even before it hit the ground. Hours of fun and no hook needed, just some tough meat hehe
