Wow! Great observation Glen! I have never seen this behavior before in a gull - have seen it in herons and sandpipers. Very cool!

Yes amazing how they have developed that technique. I suppose is a survival instinct.

I have never seen Magpie Geese. They are very different from Canada geese. They have a knob, their face is naked, legs are orage, fethers are black and white, etc.. They are so beautiful. Thank you very much for this wonderful capture, Glen.

Wagtails suffer from mites that infect their legs and cause infections and deformaties that can cause the loss of a leg. Also, it could be entaglement round the leg from fibres or fine sring or something else that cuts off the blood supply to the leg causing it to lose its limb. Thanks for watching and commenting Lily. 👍

Beautiful! A crow stole an egg. Mama (hen) was worried about where her egg went. So Mama hired a private detector. He looked for an egg through a helicopter, and he found it! 🐓🐣 I read your comments, Glen. You fed this egg to the crow. How nice you are. I am sure that this crow loves and trusts you very much. Looks like he is healthy and very happy. 💞

Yes I did Lily. I knew that a wild crow had never seen a hens egg before. So I placed an egg for it. It dived into it straight away. There is a family of crows on a supermarket carpark that I feed and they are becoming quite trusting of me. Thanks for the comment. 👍
