Gullse. Thursday, Mar 27 2008 

In a rather nice pose (against a bare tree) on a statue at Kew.

You know about gulls, right? :D I like this photo. Didn’t think it would come out so nice.

The gullses. Tuesday, Mar 11 2008 

They argue.

Also, it’s worth noting, the exact same species as the bird mother photographed ( http://errantmoggy.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/for-you-a-guest-photo/ ) and we still can’t work out what the hell they are.

It is Maldon, but a different day and with different animals. Yeah.

You see, idiot me heard mother plannng a trip around Blake Woods in Danbury and said, “Hey, I’ll come!” Wrong move. Halfway through, the mud had sucked on my shoe, I lost balance, and did that natural rebalancing thing we humans can do (and it is definitely cool, by the way, it stopped me ending up on my arse) whilst I was still stood in a two inch deep muddy area of the path… short story even shorter, I ended up limping up a short hill with a shoe in my hand and muddy knee-highs. (Luckily they took most of the mud – I just put them both in the rubbish bag. Ugh.)

Anyway, after that, we decided to go to Maldon as the bus went that way. Ended up watching a group of swans waddling distastefully around on the mud flats. *smirk*

For you a guest photo. Wednesday, Feb 27 2008 

This is a picture my mother took a couple days ago – I thought it was good. I asked her if she minded.

She does not.

We cannot identify this bird. Drat it!

Gullses. Saturday, Feb 16 2008 

I am informed by my resident critic – mother – that the lighting on this is like I had the flash on. It was one pm on a very sunny day. What flash?! – It’s just the weirdness of the muddy-Blackwater against a nice white gullses.

As a side note, the mud-flats of the Blackwater are actually protected. They’re not allowed to stop them being muddy. There aren’t many mud-flats in the world. This means that the Blackwater may well eventually be Maldon.
