Great pictures both here and on yesterday's post of the black sands. You seem to be endlessly knowledgeable about birds and sands and whatevers ... is it your work that exposes you to so much or are you just a voracious learner. Anyway, it is to our advantage as you are so willing to share with us your endless array of knowledge ... Thank you for that, it is always a pleasure to come over here.<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-90294846244376600492017-02-01T05:18:05.944+11:002017-02-01T05:18:05.944+11:00Fantastic big beast of a gull.
