Some amazing sea birds!
I decided to show you some sea birds today. Here we have a juvenile Kelp Gull taking off!
A cloud covered sky with the threat of rain is so nice to walk on the beach.
And here you can see him landing!
This is a Hartlaub's Gull, just before landing.
Some Cormorants flying above the surf.
Here we have another juvenile Kelp Gull.
This is the parent of the juvenile.
This little guy is called a Water Thick-knee. What an ugly name for such a nice bird.
I have to admit here that we are new residents close to the ocean, as we come from up north in Gauteng, which is about 2400 kilometers away. I personally am a mountain man, and now have to get used to the ocean. A lot of work awaits to identify the creatures that one encounters on the beach, and the ocean's bird-life. But I trust that we will soon know a lot more about this wonderful new place where we now stay.
We hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting a post by @papilloncharity

@papilloncharity, Yes, the name is not describing the beauty of this bird that's why i don't believe name system because don't know who keep these weird names. Ha ha 😂

What great shots of them all and sure the last one has thick knees but they could have come up with a nicer name for it
WOW I love these ! Wonderful photos and really interesting birds <3 I like the Kelp Gull taking off so much ! Great shot and framing * ___ *!!!
And Water-Thick Knee's name makes me laugh.... What a name !
Hello @papilloncharity
Awesome lending photographs of birds..
I really like this picture. Nice post..
Just a great catch of seabirds!
I have to thank @dswigle for leading me to your post. I've been looking at your photography and gentle words for the last 20 minutes. You have a new #1 fan.
Thank you for your own kindness and I appreciate your comments.
Life is short and we are placed in it to cultivate a care for all others. At least that is my motto, as it's so easy to hurt, but even easier to love.
Take care and thank you once again!
Blessings!
I too am raising money to be helpful. I learned of the Feather's Tale Children's Village in Tanzania being run by John St.Julien who is dying from Babesia and Lyme parasites about 2 years ago and follow daily. The situation is sad. He had done wonderful things for the village in the 6 years he has been there.
So great that you are helping them.
Charities don't have things easy nowadays, but all charities do what they can with what they have.
