Love your Feathered Friends contest theme for this round @nelinoeva, as capturing the odd unusual shot of a bird is such a surprising thrill and a giggle when you actually score. Rarity is the word that comes to my mind.
My entry photo surprised me when I first saw it even though truth be told I was chasing this one seagull to get it moving. My scaring tactics worked as it kept flying up and away for a short distance only to come down again. I am sure this frightened seagull considered me one crazy human stalker that afternoon given the harried screeching look on his face. I must admit I have not captured an action open beak photo before.
Just to finish off here is are two photos of this seagull trying the flying up and down tactic to rid itself of me.
