Within 5 minutes black backed gulls the size of eagles would have torn it to shreds, with herring gull help. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by.Simon Douglas Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331409652996600049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-37383574912415135162016-01-09T10:40:32.891-08:002016-01-09T10:40:32.891-08:00Good photos Si.

I am sure that when I was a child we rarely saw gulls of any kind inland (in fact on the odd occasion when we did we always said there was a storm at sea!) Now, if the farmer gets his plough out and the sky is empty of gulls,by the time he gets to the other end of the field there are at least a hundred behind him.

We have lots of them here at the moment and they make a beautiful sight early in the morning flying low over the golf course and parkland in large flocks.SeagullSuziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857680854262709165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-81961574398271296392016-01-08T17:19:09.308-08:002016-01-08T17:19:09.308-08:00I love that first shot with the feet hanging down ...I love that first shot with the feet hanging down especially.
