    Bitzy, the second gull is doing one of those 'impersonator' quick-change things where they turn away and grab a prop. I missed it on camera but when he turned round he had the face of a penguin :pingu: :whistle:

    FB, that first one is what made me search through the other shots to see what else they were up to.
