A Grave Birth



You never know what you'll find wandering around the beautiful cemetery above the Old Town.

I wonder how the inhabitants of this grave would feel if they knew a seagull had taken up residence to sit on her eggs?

She kept a very beady eye on me so I didn't stay long.

  1. Nice photos!
    The "residents" are probably glad that someone is visiting...

  4. Mmmm... thanks for the sympathy -:)

    Great photo of mom. Will you check back from time to time to see how her family develops? Could be interesting.

  5. She is very pretty, and a good mom-to-be. I'll bet that the occupants would love seeing new life there.

  8. That's a very pretty seagull. Her neighbors downstairs must be happy to have her adorning their resting place.

  11. I imagine this is probably a fairly quiet place for her to get those eggs to hatch! Nice photos.

  12. At least no human will disturb her eggs.:) Nice photo shot of the bird.

  13. That is an incredible shot, I should say incredible shots ... what a beautiful Gull!! Funny I took a shot of three gulls yesterday on the west coast of Florida just because they look so different from the ones I see in Kissimmee!

    Awesome post!
