Sure are a lot of seagulls down there. Family day at the beach? Or is it because the sun finally came out?

Hmm…. They seem to be all talking at once, and with their mouths full too. Ill-mannered scavengers.

Ahh … I see. It’s poor man’s caviar time. The herring have spawned near the beach.

I might try a lick or two when those pesky seagulls move along.
