A lot of one-legged seagulls. While some were just resting their leg as seagulls do, quite a few hopped rather than walked, including the one just landing. It didn't put its other foot down. Something must be predating on these birds.

I suspect the one-leggedness has more to do with fishing line entanglement.
I'm loving that second shot!
