It’s a Gull’s Life

Life is tough when you're a young herring gull.
There's lots of waiting around

You have to ask very politely…

And while the food is, er… freshly delivered'

… it's no good asking for seconds

Still… you can always play 'sticks' with your bedding.

    That adult gull looks positively evil in the second photo! Mind you, raising gull chicks cannot be easy :insane:

    Adele, that particular gull has exceedingly evil eyes, even when it's sleeping. There's something odd about its yellow eye-ring that just oozes menace.
