Happy day for seabirds

Happy day for seabirds
Perhaps better enlarged

An annual event - farmer ploughs the field - seabrids arrive for the feast of whatever is revealed by the plough blades.

Hello Doug, a trip down memory lane for me, I used to see my Grand Dad in the field with a scene like this, him on his tractor and grand Mother would let me walk out to him and and take him a nice cold drink, maybe even a snack. He worked very hard as a Farmer, Doug. A very nice photo, well done here... Best wishes, Sarah

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Sarah O' club
Hello Sarah, I'm glad the picture brought back some nice memories for you. Farmers still work hard, the picture was taken about an hour before sunset and he was still working in the field (at the bottom of our garden) for at least two hours in darkness. He was back the next day, Sunday, and by evening the crop was planted. Thanks very much for your visit and kind comments Sarah.

Have a great day, Doug

Yes a yearly occurrence and I bet they look forward to it. It great to watch and to capture the scene as you have done here. Superb shot.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Hello Rosa. I suppose it must be a bit of a bonanza and easy pickings compared to their natural diet. The striking thing is that no Carrion Crows, Jackdaws or Rooks will go near the fields when the seabirds (or is the the tractor) are present, despite the readily available food. Thanks very much for your visit and kind comment.

All the best, Doug
