While coming back on the boat from the Isle of Mull to the town of Oban on the west of Scotland, I took these photos of a seagull that was following behind us. I presume he (or she) was using the boat’s slipstream to grab a free ride. Sometimes the seagull got blown back and had to fight to catch the boat again, but mostly it managed to stay the course. I took loads of photos and here are five that came out quite well along with a few tunes concerning this particular bird
Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) – A Flock of Seagulls
Lesbian Seagull – Englebert Humperdinck
Haha, “Lesbian Seagull”…Wasn’t that in the Beavis and Butthead movie?
It was indeed. I’d forgotten that, Erin. It seems the song was written about 30 years ago in response to a study showing that between 10 & 15 % of seagulls liked to wear comfortable shoes. Apparently, it’s not uncommon in the animal kingdom
Thank you very much! It’s not many bands that give their name to a type of haircut. Roll on the new football season
Some fine selections there, especially the first.
