Zandvoort's Young Seagulls Learn Fast!
We were watching a kitesurfer close to shore one day whilst doing a little kitesurfing video filming.
As we were getting ready to leave the beach we turned to see a small group of 3 young seagulls paddling in one of the inshore pools that the outgoing tide had left behind. We had previously spotted one young gull doing the same which we wrote about in a previous Zandvoort blog post.
This time it was a little more interesting. One of the 3 young gulls had already learned the art of finding food in this type of situation and was busy pecking here and there in the water ... but the other 2 gulls just stood and stared. They looked quite puzzled but after only a short time of watching the 'knowledgeable' one, they picked up on the idea. Wonderful to watch nature at work in this way :)
