 This was when my sister was visiting me, when I was quite sick earlier in the month.

Peter took us down to my favorite place to see Percy, and we shared our seafood dinner with him. I have only been out twice this month, and both times it was where we see Percy.

I know this is a little dark, but it was taken just on dusk. I was so pleased I finally got a picture of Percy nearly catching his dinner from my sisters hand. I will also upload am image where one can see my sister more clearly.

Percy has really given me another reason to cope with my health issues. He is nearly always there, when I get the chance to go down to the place where we can find him.

He is still a wild bird, and I respect that. I do not feed him all the time, only occasionally, when we are going to have fish and chips at the beach, by the waters edge. We also make sure it is only squid.

Enjoy.....

It looks like Percy is a happy boy in this shot. I am happy that you found a good critter to help lift your spirits when you needed a boost. I can see that this was shot sort of late in the afternoon, but having very little shadow works nicely for this scene.
