It’s been an age since i posted for #seabirdsunday i was up at Troup Head last week & its great to see the #gannets starting to come back on the cliffs with some courtship behaviour starting. Check out the colour change in the pupil of one of the pair (as a result of its exposure to bird flu)!

I love #BrownPelicans. Here is one in meditative mood.

Sunday Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GullsintheWater
#birds #SeabirdSunday #photography #EastCoastKin @robcrank68.bsky.social
A large group of white and black Western Gulls with yellow beaks in the brown and blue water, and some gulls and many brown and white Brown Pelicans on brown sand along the shore. There are tall green and light brown grasses in the background. This area is where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean in Jenner, California.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GullsInWater. I don't see many gulls in MA, so here's a photo of #WesternGulls and a large group of #BrownPelicans at Goat Rock Beach in #Jenner #California (12/30/21). One of my favorite places! 🤩🌊

It's should be #SeabirdSunday but these Black headed gulls are happily congregating on the river. They're quite a long way from the sea 🤷. They give the Goosanders a wide berth though #birds #nature #flock 😊
Congratulations! you're a day early; tomorrow is #seabirdsunday 😆
For #SeabirdSunday how about this beautiful #OysterCatcher (husband's photo 🤷) he's a handsome bird 😊
A ring-billed gull stands staring off into the distance on a silty bit of land surrounded by the water. The head and chest are snowy white, the wing is medium gray with some black tail feathers featuring white markings. Its yellow beak has the distinctive black ring wrapping around it close to the tip.

Happy Seabird Sunday! A new Kittiwake illustration inspired by watching them dive for capelin over the summer...
A little appreciation for one of our smaller black and white seabirds.

Inverted Sandwich Tern.
And whilst we are at it, have some more for #SeabirdSunday from the bay.
The Sandwich Tern is genuinely flying upside down! I was watching a small group diving and trying to get some splashdown photos. When I checked after, it took me a moment to work out what was wrong!

Illustration of three puffins, include a puffling. His sister is flying back from her journey across the ocean to little puffin who waits on the cliff with his mum. Stars shine brightly and a lighthouse beams across the velvet sky. Forests come in and out of view on the darkening horizon.
did you see the lighthouse asked little puffin?
Oh yes, and the trees and the stars too said his big sister.

Pelicans are seabirds right?

We’re so familiar with the iconic seabirds that there are some birds that may get overlooked or from a distance appear to just be a gull…
But, if you see a large white seabird flying - look closer it might be the stunning #northernGannet.

Here are gulls inland at Boston Lincolnshire...and I'm moved to realise that my village ancestor, William Brackenbury, a local shepherd born in the 1830s, would have seen gulls too when he brought his sheep to town. My country family were keen observers of birds, including seagulls! #SeabirdSunday

Painting of two razorbills swimming
The sleekest bird i've met - The Razorbill. And the closest living relative to the Great Auk.

A nice reflection on the wet sand of four Seagulls.
For #seabirdsunday I bring you the Seagull convention. #birds #birdoftheworld
Our good friend is moving on to start a new adventure with @manxbirdlife. Chris has been helping out behind the scenes, so we wanted to treat him to a seabird experience. Things didn't go to plan, but we still had a full day emerged in coastal nature. #seabirds #seabirdsunday #stabbsnaturereserve
Mixed media painting of a Royal tern
Is it a Caspian Tern, Royal Tern, Arctic Tern, or just a really cool Tern? Do you take the time to know your seabirds? I probably mislabel them all, I'm too mesmerized by their aerobatic dive...
