This series of photos were taken on a BC ferry (see the big chimney) at time of crossing the Strait of Georgia that separates City of Vancouver from Vancouver Island.The arrival of these unexpected visitors on top of our heads startled me with joy. I supposed they were sea gulls. Their flying skill was superb. They flied at the same speed as that of the ferry. For some time, say, twenty minutes or so, they followed close to us. Some of them were stable in the air. I wondered if they would finally land on our ferry.
It was the best moment to take a few pictures of these friendly birds of the twenty-first century. Since they did not succeed in getting any food from our ferry, somehow they disappeared behind us. No wonder their leader led them away to hunt for fish elsewhere in the sea.

They probably are sea gulls by the look of them.

Next time bring some food(not necessarily fish, they eat almost anything)with you if you want to keep them accompany longer. However, they still will go either there is no more food, or they are enough. They won't stay and acquaint with you if they don't need you! They are just sea gulls, not some human.
