... and a one, two, three ... hop

I have noticed seagulls featuring quite a lot in the community photos lately.
I love these birds. They are so clean, yet noisy and ridiculously badly behaved.
Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!

Cool trifecta. Yeah. I agree with you about their behaviour, especially the ones at Flinders Street.

Cool symmetry, nice pic. How close up on them were you?

Well captured, Helen. I love the one guy who won't cooperate with "the pose".

Good effect, great tone and agree with Damon, that 3rd guy adds a little twist to the trio...

Great shot! Perfectly composed! I've never seen these scavengers looking more dignified. It looks like they are waiting off-stage for their cue, while the one in the rear does a last minute personal -ahem- funk-check.

@Matt Trujillo Photography: Oh great comment Matt! I have spent the last 5 mins laughing.
"a last minute personal -ahem- funk-check" this one will live on .... !

On the subject of gulls and their behaviour, I once saw one eat an entire chicken leg bone, which just boggled my mind. It was like a sword swallowing act; it took him about 3 minutes, but he got it down.
