A trip along the Esplanade yesterday revealed many Gulls doing the dance!! Here are couple of short vids of the technique ...
Sightings as I drove along were quite unusual ... saw group of about five RN Parakeets flying away from beachside & after seeing the gull dance, & after I had put cam away, saw what I though were extra large gulls flying towards me ... two lovely Swans (been for a chilly dip in the sea?)!! Wow

You're so right TJ, never gave it a thought!!
Never even realised I'd recorded radio again, it's a wonder YT let me get away with it, maybe nothing copyrighted being played!!
Just a few seconds after I'd stopped filming they both took off towards me & over my head ... the only snap I got is on Bad Pics! Lol
Couple of still to add ... I find Gulls very statuesque & love the brilliance & velvety texture of the white feathers
A couple of Crows decided to pay a visit ... lovely backdrop of the calm & blue sea!
One getting closer
Imagine Crow saying 'wot you up to then?'
Another 'miss' followed ... had packed cam away when the Crow dropped down & was firmly chased off by irate Gull!! C'est la vie & all that!
lovely additions Wendy, love the crow too in the last pic !!
