Its amazing how adaptable birds can be. I've often seen seagulls that have a broken or twisted leg or even have a foot missing. They don't seem to feel sorry for themselves, they just get on with their daily lives and make do the best they can. But yesterday morning at the Whakatane rivermouth I saw a seagull unlike any bird I've ever seen before. I noticed its erratic flight and i was surprised to see as it got closer that it only had one wing! I only had time to take this one shot but it turned out pretty good. Weird how it could even manage to fly -an incredible survival story!

Fantastic Mandy, but not so unusual - there's a one-winged dove in your blog, but it didn't survive that well...
I'd bet I'd be pretty foolhardy to go looking for either of them.
Nice one.

I just wanted to SEA how GULLible my readers are ;) Happy A.F. Day to someone who obviously isn't...
P.S. Apparently It fooled at least one reporter from a local newspaper both of which will remain nameless.
Lol! Good one!
