Haf, Meri and their fellow seagulls are feeling very excited as they have been chosen as the first Square Perspective for July’s challenge. I chose it because of the multiple perspectives in just one square. I wonder what your first Square Perspective will be?

To join us create your square post, and include a pingback to one of my daily square posts and use the theme’s tag – SquarePerspectives. I’d love it if you also left a comment, conversations with you make the challenge so much fun.

Now to get you started here are a few perspective definitions;

  • Art – the method by which solid objects drawn or painted on a flat surface are given the appearance of depth and distance.
  • Geometry – the way that objects appear smaller when they are further away and the way parallel lines appear to meet each other at a point in the distance.
  • Point of View – a particular way of considering (looking at) something or the capacity to view things in their relative importance
  • Vista – seeing something over distance or time

As always during a square month I will share squares daily. If daily sounds daunting, don’t worry. It is okay to join us weekly or even just pop in occasionally with your squares. The frequency of your squares depends on you and your blog. The only absolute rule for joining in is that your photograph must be square!

  10. How do you know their names? Did I miss something earlier or is there a birding significance, or are you being fanciful or me idiotic? Tick any of those options 🙂 🙂

    White rabbit! I shall cheer you on from the sidelines (and make stupid comments) this month. Happy July 1st, Becky! Hope it’s a good month.

    2. Loving the fact you are going to be here cheering us all on, think you will be in good company this month watching 🙂

      and for a proper answer to your question I look up names for sea and ocean, and came across these fabulous words and thought they suited these gulls 🙂

    1. You and MrB look at this pic with the same perspective! He’s always reminding me that this is not a usual Herring Gull. Fortunately the Yellow Legged have not inherited the Herring Gull cry!

      1. I used to see a few in the U.K. when I was surveying an inland winter gull roost in southern Cheshire. Of course, in those days they either went in the logbook as Yellow legged Herring Gull or we used the scientific name for the subspecies as we also used to get a few Northern European Herring Gulls.

        1. One of our birding books is 20years old, and it’s fascinating to see what has changed in such a short period of time.

        2. I estimate that 40 to 50 percent of my natural history slides now have incorrect captions. The common English name and/or scientific name has been changed since I was captioning the slides in the 1980s and 1990s.

        4. That’s why I Google a species if I’m captioning nowadays. I suspect some reference books and field guides are incorrect by the time they appear on the shelf.
