The Elite

Clearly only the important seagulls are allowed to stand (and shit) on the picnic table.  The rest of the minions have to mass down on the mudflat below them.

I realised I didn't have a blip so we headed out to Sumner planning to photograph Shag Pile.  But before we got there I was drawn to this congregation of hundreds of seagulls.  Just as well too, as there is no way the light would have lasted until I got all the way out to the beach.
