Friday fun 2: the counting challenge
This is just one small section of the shortest of three stone breakwaters packed with birds. Another breakwater is blurred in the background; the third was full of people fishing and that one and the fourth are not visible in this shot. There are at least three species showing in this shot, and there were at least three more species present on the breakwater but I'm not sure those latter three are showing here. Obviously, my counts of these birds was only a qualified "guesstimate". Anybody wanna try counting?
