After yet another successful year on the Odds & Sods thread, initially started I think by Hazy, it might be wise to kickstart the 2023 thread off.
Thank you to those who have contributed to last years thread, and there has been very interesting odds and sods in "Odds & Sods 2022" that aren't enough to place into a dedicated thread, which you can look back on the following link:

I think demand outstripped supply!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Great selection of photo's Benji.
I like the Gull in flight. Not sure what you do about noise reduction in your photo's, I use Topaz DeNoise AI (as a filter within photoshop Elements). Other products available, I believe photoshop has an equivalent product built in now.
Hope you don't mind but to give you some idea of how it works I have applied it on this photo of yours:
