I think they were waiting to be fed by passers by. Meanwhile at Saltholme Nature Reserve near Middlesbrough in England no one would attempt to feed this water bird.

There is another nature reserve adjacent to the River Tees at Stockton.

The smaller birds round the island are plovers (also called peewits or lapwings) presumably there for a drink or what they could find in the mud.
At Fowey in Cornwall I found this steaming along.

My daughter was in that boat on a short trip round the harbour in 2008.
Finally we have a stand off.

But which one will get that floating ball.
Hope you liked my selection of water shots; more interesting to me than photos of big ships. But don't let that stop you sailing across to Carmi's Thematic-photographic-229

Just love Fowey, I'm sure your daughter enjoyed her time there, always enjoy their festival.
These are all wonderful, but you know my heart belongs to the three adorable water-lovers!
If not the ball, perhaps they could chase a few ducks? Well, perhaps not in the nature preserve (I love those places).
Add a chocolate lab and you'd have a full set! :)
Thank you Bob for the encouraging comments of my first attempt at participation. I love your photos, especially the ducks that are my favourite birds!
I love the triple scoops of dog flavors!
I'm fond of coots - but fonder still of dogs :) Great pictures, Bob
Excellent variety of water shots, Bob. And you reminded me of our 2012 autumn holiday in Cornwall. We spent some time in Fowey.
Birds and dogs?
Terrific subjects, Bob! I'll have to try that sometime...
;-)
That is the coolest steam ship...I've never seen one in real life! And you already know how I feel about birds :)
Great shots, Bob!
