Trust the signs!!

I was walking down the shoreline in Kamakura one late afternoon. Sand felt nice under my feet, the ocean was not to cold. I was munching away on an icecream. Then it happened. Something hit the back of my head. I ducked as a reflex. Then somebody snatched the icecream from mmy hands. Confused I looked up. There was nobody but me on the beach. What had just happened? Seaside ghosts with a taste for choc-ices? =/

Hehe, nope.
It was giant birds. Huge eagles with claws big enough to rip anybody's eyes from their heads. The hit on my head was its wing when it went down for my icecream.
So just an advice. Before bringing food onto a beach look for warning signs at the entrances. I saw the sign at this beach too late and it could have costed me my eyes. However all it got away with this time was one yummy chocolate and vanilla sandwich.
