Does anyone know why seagulls stand on one leg?

I was walking along the beach late this afternoon and I spotted flocks of seagulls looking for evening snacks. They have learned to hang around fishermen in the hope of sneaking off with some bait or the odd small fish.

The fishermen left and the gulls stayed to watch the sea.

And to practise standing on one leg.

Some were even hopping around on one leg, I can’t imagine why.

Anyway, it was a gorgeous afternoon at the beach…..between rain showers. We have had some extreme weather lately, which makes for some interesting skies.

Any ideas on the seagulls?

I am at Main Beach for a few days. This is where I grew up….beside the beach….what could be better?
