Watery Wednesday: Stop! Thief!



I didn't actually see this seagull swipe the slice of apple protruding from its beak.  But, the way it's standing so proudly displaying its prize I can't help but wonder if the bird waited for those swimmers to wade into the Gulf of Mexico, then made its move --- snatched their apple and strutted down the beach mocking them.  Whatever happened, it occurred in an oil free zone.  As you can see, Siesta Key beach is still oil free -- as are all the beaches in Sarasota.  To see more Watery Wednesday photos from participants around the world click here.

You forgot about all the sun tan oil floating around.

Cool shot, the gull against the swimmers. We could do with a beach holiday, thieving birds or not!

Cute! Seagulls can be pushy sometimes.

Thankfully your beach shot here is still oil free. This is a fun shot. I love how you captured the swimmers in the background watching the bird! Your header shot is gorgeous, too!

Good shot with swimmers behind. I often think that seagulls must see the beach as a giant banquet of hotdogs and Doritos. I'm glad Jonathan Livingston made a wise food choice

Very cool shot. Seagulls are always on the lookout for food. That is so cute.
