Going to the beach with Sione is a holiday in itself.....there is nothing that man doesn't know about the sea... all his childhood and young adult life he lived meters away from the sea and that was his playground and school, there were no toys or even things what we would call normal living things such as electricity ( that only comes on for a few hours during the day and still does) Anyway He caught a Seagull that we all scoffed at that he couldn't do... but he did. of course !!!! They eat them back home he said...oh really!!! shock, horror. from us...
We were so amazed at the behaviour of the rest of the seagulls as you can see once Sione caught it, by laying out a fishing line in a circle on a rock, then placed a bit of food in the middle.....the rest you can imagine...... the other Seagulls just flew around in circles above the one that was caught, as you can see in the above photos.
What was also amazing is that the other Seagulls once THE ONE had been released sat with their backs to the one who was caught facing away from it....... and left the one sitting by himself....... after some time he did join the others...... not sure if he was accepted back with the group as we left......but ALL very interesting.....everyone should have a Sione in their family........life has never been the same....in a good way of course..
