I love it when Spring is springing itself on us - everything seems to liven up at once. After getting some necessary stuff out of the way I grabbed my camera and headed to a very sunny Felixstowe Ferry. I do wish, though, that I'd just been that little bit quicker:
Just as I got to the waterfront this seal was floating around at the end of the jetty - just as I raised my camera it disappeared under the water, only to reappear all the way down here! Rats.
I love seeing cormorants flying over but I wish they'd do it at less height.
'You again? You'd better do me justice.'
'What do you mean, nice tutu? I won't successfully pull with you coming out with stuff like that!'
Crows fly so gracefully and to see the feathers gleaming in the sun is always a bonus.
This redshank was a fair distance away - I was pleased to get a snap of it that came out at all!
Discussing the state of the world in a perfect, secluded spot. Actually, they'd do a better job than many at sorting it out.
Hard at work. I love the name of this boat - Willy Boy!
Not quite an adult but getting there.
Yes, you'd make a fine figurehead - but you're sitting in the wrong place.
This pair of herring gulls suggest it's high time I started paying them model fees as I snap them so often
What do you mean, no? We are clearly high quality photographic subjects.
Finishing off with a nice, refreshing bath.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Always nice to catch up with goings-on in the Ferry Gull group.
