Hopeful...........but disappointed!

Hopeful...........but disappointed!
During a recent visit to Victoria Park in Southsea, I couldn't resist taking a photo of this gull..........it was standing on the table next to where my wife and I and a a friend were sitting, having a coffee and a chat, just staring at us.

It obviously thought we had food, but we didn't.............and even if we had, it was still going to be disappointed :-)))

Aw, the disappointed seagull, but it does them no favours to feed them....They get a bad press already. I notice he problem is not so bad in Weymouth on recent visits, but in Swanage they hung around the fish and chips shops in hope! I love his shot though and the detail is superb against the beautiful bokeh background.

The look really is priceless, you caught it perfectly! This gull has much to learn if it really was waiting for food, most gulls just swoop in and take what they want;-)

Poor seagull, but your decision not to feed them is a good one.
What's offered to many wild animals living in human proximity rarely serves their specific needs.
Though, this extraordinary seagull portrait is anything but disappointing, Keith! :)
