I love it. Yes, mankind is certainly a lazy bunch and many just don't think, they do not care! <br />The Gull you showed to us, is just one, so many others suffer, because of our mistakes. I watched in horror one day in Florida, when a gull flew away with a set of six pack rings around it's throat...enough said, Love your images!Mary Howell Cromerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473298562829352582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-31896391783597772942012-08-16T11:39:29.800+01:002012-08-16T11:39:29.800+01:00What a splendidly robust bird the Oyk is!

"Oyk" is a great abbreviation!<br />My husband is going out with local naturalists on Saturday, to see if he might like to take up birding or some such as a hobby if his health forces him to retire. I think he'll enjoy it, but I really can't imagine him retiring.<br />KKay L.

I'm extremely lucky to see anything beyond the common sparrow, cardinal or blue jay. Maybe I need to expand my parameters a bit! These are absolutely lovely shots.
