What do you mean, "no fishing"?

I had had too much coffee when I took this photo, slight movement of the camera there it couldn't compensate for, but funny enough to post:

A seagull protesting against the new "no fishing" signs in the park.

Quick bro take a dive and catch quick one fish I will cover you dont worry!
PS: Someone needs to help that seagull, I am a seaman so we are practically relatives.

@ocrdu - giggles on that seagull's expression hahaha - I can almost imagine the sound - very annoying fits with the sign board.

Up close, they can actually make my ears hurt. In Antwerp's old harbour, when you throw up half a chip (frietje) it will not land again, as one of them will catch it in mid-air, which is funny. But the sound they make ...

Ah, yes, seagulls. The flying assholes. So pretty, so impudent.

I've seen them grab food from the hands of passersby countless times. And then thrust themselves from people's shoulders or heads, back into the air, a hamburger in their beaks.

@ocrdu - so true, I went to katwijk aan zee last time, we were eating "kibbling" and they were hovering above us - creepy and noisy hahaha
but funny on the pics.

Very good catch, congratulations!

Thank you.
