I learnt to read the patterns the seagulls made and the encroaching smell of sea air, and could sense a heavy swell ahead of time.
--->I don't know the exact meaning of the patterns the seagulls made.
Is the word "patterns" the same meaning as the formation?
@kathy79,
Not for formations in this case. The second items in the sentence imply ' a regular behavior pattern ' of seagulls indicating to the watcher that they are approaching the coast, or perhaps giving an indication of changing weather or sea conditions.
@fresco,
Thank you for your answer. It really helps a lot. : )
