herring gull
stamps on the grass -
worms rise.
I love watching gulls do this, they look as though they're dancing. I've heard it said that worms mistake the drumming for rain and that's why they rise (and then get eaten), but as I often see gulls dancing in the rain, there may be another explanation!
I didn't know gulls did that but am not surprised - I know that in some places they have worm-churning competitions.

ReplyDeleteThat works so well!
ReplyDeletelove this- you have a great blog- glad you dropped by so I could find you :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny little dancing image you have created. Made me laugh though I suppose the worm would not appreciate the outcome.
ReplyDeleteMandy - I've never seen the worm churning! Maybe its down to regional differences!
ReplyDeleteAnnie - yes it is fun!
Nasra, Jo, Sally - thanks!
