If only the Tonka pilot had selected reheat and gone round ! The Seagul could have been legless and barbecued at the same time!

Fantastic split-second capture!

Out of curiosity, have you made much money from the photos? Hopefully, you have.

The Chinese take away outside RAF Halton is next door to a vets.

Apparently you get quite a lot of meat in your portions.

Tornado over the piano keys at Lossie today hit this gull,around about the area of the left hand undercarriage.
Surely that should be the left leg undercarriage?
