More Fulmars at Rottingdean…

By Words | Published February 7, 2010

The fulmars excelled themselves today. The light was good, and the weather mild. Not quite a spring day (yet), but a hint of what's to come.

    Lois, watching them is fascinating. They seem to be in constant communication with each other, very attentive; and then suddenly one will take off, circle out to sea, return and the whole cycle starts again.

    Robin, thanks. To my amazement the fulmars finally gave up and left that nook to the pigeons. Not what I was expecting to happen.

    Darko, always noisy, but not so loud as the gulls.
