Incoming!



It used to be thought that the sight of gulls near land was a sign to expect bad weather; instinct telling them to seek shelter inshore. The fact is, gulls do not live at sea, so there is nothing to connect such sightings with imminent storms. The growing dark clouds are a better indication of what's to come, however, and as I write the first gales of winter are starting to batter the south coast. Winds are forecast to gust up to 70 mph, so it should be an interesting night.

Cool, RIchard Brewer. You caught so many, in such different aspects of flying that one could almost learn to fly by observing closely.

What I like about the photo, Tim, is that none of the birds were overlapping; each had its own separate part of the sky.
