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.

Goose Park and Gulls 3:00 am
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.
Gulls and Maldon and Swans 3:00 am
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*
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!
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.
