During my recent trip to Rye Harbour N.R. I had the opportunity to watch a juvenile Black-headed Gull as it attempted one of its earliest flying attempts.
Lovely post Frank a nice set of images. I only managed one day on Anglesey but what a lovely few hours. South Stack and Cemlyn Bay are places I often visit...nice to here you have visited both.
Kind of hard watching them take those first flights, but as long as they keep trying, they will hopefully make it up, up and away~
ReplyDeleteLovely set Frank.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of those first faltering flaps. I'm sure he'll soon get the hang of landing lol
Fantastic series Frank.
ReplyDeleteJohn.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't sleep last night and had a look at this post. I didn't truely grasp the significance of the slapstick humor.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. Surprising how quickly they get going.
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith. Won't be long before it's flying high!
JRandSue. Thanks John.
Thank you Sarah.
Sleep-walking again Steve! No apologies for my 'British' humour ..lol.
