Feeding the gulls at Sandgate

A Silver Gull in flight over a beach, banked steeply so its wings form a near-vertical line, one wingtip near the top of the frame and the other near the bottom. The bird has a white body, grey upper wings with black and white wingtips, an open red beak, and orange legs jutting from its underside towards the camera. Its head is turned up and to the left, towards a small chip/fry in the air just beyond its beak. The sky behind is clear deep blue, paling towards the horizon, with a few small white clouds. Below the bird is a wide flat beach of wet brown sand crossed by shallow pools and channels of water. Further back, a band of blue-green sea with small white waves meets the horizon, where a faint line of low land is visible.

A man walks across a grassy bank towards the sea, seen from behind. He wears a black top, black cap with neck guard, black shorts and a black harness around his waist, and carries a red and white striped kiteboard under one arm. Below the bank is a wide beach with long shallow pools of water between sand bars, and a few other people are near the water. The sea is blue-green with small white waves, and low grey hills sit on the horizon. The sky is bright blue with a band of white cloud, and a dark kitesurfing kite is in the air above the water to the left. The foreground grass is dry and brown, with taller green grass, a few weathered wooden posts and a tree stump at lower right, and a sparse shrub at the right edge.
