Have you ever seen so many species of birds together? Oystercatchers (bottom left), Seagulls, Cormorants and White breasted Cormorants!
Well, it's party time because of all the available food here!
**As usual there is a surprise in the last 3 photos! **
The severe winds have driven hundreds of small fish into the protection of the rocks and we didn't know this until an old man appeared next to me to tell me that they were either resting with full stomachs, or fighting for a share of the fish caught.
Come and have a look!
The gulls keep on patrolling and every time that the cormorant in the water comes up from a dive with a fish in his beak, the gulls attack him to get the fish!
Look at the wind on a wave back there!
What is that? Yes an Egyptian goose also joined the hunt in the sea and you can see the wind turning up the collar on his neck here!
Yes, it really is an Egyptian goose in the sea.
Many don't believe me when I tell them about the geese in the ocean, because geese are vegetarians 🤣
Now! As promised here below is the surprise!
Terns, a cloud of Terns was also resting and hunting here!
NASA, we have a lift off! They decided that I was coming too close!
Did I say that we had a cloud of Terns?
This photo above looks like a cloud to me?
And That not All Friends!
To conclude the post properly, I decided to show you this land/sea scape!
Now That's All Friends!
We are discovering many secrets of the ocean and thankfully that lonely old man appeared to tell me that the birds know where the small fish gather during high winds.
Then the old many strolled off, gave Marian a gift that he had picked up on the beach and disappeared.
But this lesson will stand me in good stead in the future!
I also got a Kingfisher hunting successfully with a gull chasing him and some other shots, but that is for another post.
We hope that you have enjoyed the post and all photos are my own. Taken with a Canon Powershot SX60HS
