Black headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) Foraging along the strandline, Fylde Coast, Lancashire. With a lot of attention being placed on pollution, the strandline along the seas and oceans are important feeding grounds for numerous birds and creatures. Spring tides can bring in an abundance of foods, as well as other debris in the form of rubbish, plastics, and other marine junk. Here is a MacDonald cup that has been discarded or blown in from inland. The sandy beach offers a negative space but highlights the thin margin the strandline holds for foraging birds. The black mass in the top right corner is some king of plastic netting used in the construction industry, or possibly from a passing ship.
