Feed the birds...

Today, there is almost spring in the air, as the clouds roll away and the sun shines. There has been evidence of the approaching season for a week or so, with the arrival of crocuses and the green shoots of daffodils. Even the temperature has risen, and for the first time this year I ride without a coat.

I photographed the man feeding black-headed gulls at Sandbanks, Dorset, this morning. Although I was right behind him, he seemed totally unaware of my presence; being totally absorbed in what he was doing. I just wish people wouldn't use bread, as it has little nutritional value for wildlife.
