A Possible New Hobby...

Ever since I moved to Margate, I have been fascinated by the gulls. The more I watch them, the more beautiful I find them, and I promised myself that I would have a session of photography with my "proper" camera, as I thought my phone camera wouldn't be up to the job.

Arriving home on a beautiful evening, I thought it might be fun to go and sit on the beach... so made a cup of tea in my travel mug (happily unused and abandoned since the end of my daily commute to London) and went out.

The view was almost heart-achingly beautiful, and I settled down to pray Vespers. That completed, I started to watch the gulls - I suspect it's mating season, as much of the wheeling flight seemed to have a display element. I decided to try and take a few photos...

I couldn't see much on my mobile, but I thought it might be worth cropping the photos to focus more closely on the gulls in flight. You can see the results on my Flickr page. Not too shabby, even if I do say so myself!
