hahah - love your title, it really does look as if the one is trying to get them to do a bit of exercise and the other 2 look so uninterested!!! hahaha. Great shot Judy.

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks, Michael. As prolific as they are, and often a nuisance, they are always entertaining.

Your translation is on in my blogpost. Hope you'll find the recipe satisfying.

I'm wondering if this is a gull aerobics class gearing up for action. It's a fun photo, Judy. But they look so serious... hah!

@Viewfinder: Silly birds ... or is it a silly photographer? ;D
Barbara from Florida, United States
Beauty and humor combined. A fun shot Judy. I love the pose and feather pattern of the one with raised wings. He looks like he is standing on the lower two purposely giving him something to stand on.
Speaking of exercise, off for my morning walk. Weather is beautiful.

@Barbara: The one you like was obviously the one I focused on ........ and in the lens it did look like he was standing on the others. You know how it goes with a digital, you just snap away and the surprise comes when you view them at home. :D ... Yes, it is GORGEOUS out!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
AND a stretch 1-2-3 stretch, lol it's too good, what excellent timing, you must have been thrilled indeed when it loaded up, plus it's beautiful ;)

I can just imagine the scene, Momma, Poppa and baby bird. Baby bird asks his parent, "Am I doing it right?" :)
the sand looks lovely and soft.
