Hello Hello to all Hivians and indeed anyone reading this.
Whenever I walk down to my local beach I never know what I am going to find...
The pictures in this post were all taken on Friday July 11th 2025. Some of these pictures were used to make the lead image for this post on Canva by the author.
It was a glorious day and we were paddling the length of the beach with me stopping for the odd picture...
Intense concentration
Not with the fledging seagull...
but with the crow who was guarding something!
He kept trying to peck at something...
Every so often he would stop and check he was not being watched...
Back to it ...
Change angle ...
Check not being disturbed...
Then really get stuck in and get whatever it was!
Don't you dare come here!!!
He had made his point, nobody was going close to him...
He seemed to be bored and starting walking away, but he had seen me ..
... and gave me ...
The Evil Eye!
He stopped to see if it had the desire effect!
Once happy he waddled off ...
I still don't know what he was trying to prize open.
So we went our separate ways with me back paddling to those three towers you see in the distance!
This post though, is an entry for this week's Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 227 hosted by the wonderful 
And I shall pick this one for the entry
Giving the Evil Eye
That was a tricky choice to make. There were a couple of others I could have chosen. I did like his stay away shriek photo for example!
But I like this one with the crow walking away but still giving me the eye, which in the light has turned a demonic blue!
What do you think? Was that your favourite?
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!

DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN
Haste Ye Back!
