This seagull has picked up a clam to drop on the rocks to crack them open to eat. They do this at low tide quite often.

In both ways a perfect timing: if the seagull was a tad too early or too late, the clam has landed in the sand. Tom, if you were a tad too late, we would have missed the 'performance' of the seagull.
Very good capture again, my friend!

I've not seen this before - I know seals and otters will use a rock to get them open. Well time capture Tom.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
