Seagull gets a bird's eye view of the tracks

This seagull perched on the railway crossing sign at White Rock Beach was getting a good look at the goings-on.

He was not shy of being photographed; indeed, he appeared quite willing to pose himself to take advantage of his best profile.

Birds get so used to people in urban areas that they tend to ignore us beach walkers.

They also give those who walk on the beach the once-over to see if we have any offerings of food for them.
