They weren&#39;t there when I left work on Friday, and judging by the size of them they probably didn&#39;t appear until the latter part of the extended weekend. Yes, the local herring gull chicks have hatched.  It&#39;s the same roof I photographed last year, and once again there are three chicks in the nest. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/0gull_chick_0606121439.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/gull_chick_0606121444.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/gull_chick_0606121448.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Of course there are other youngsters in the vicinity, including this surprisingly elegant moorhen chick. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/moorhen_chick_0606121352.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>As for the foxes, the real activity of note was the incessant (and very loud) calling last night. Judging from the trail cam images it was Shutterbug who wouldn&#39;t shut up. He even spent a few minutes immediately outside our window at around 2.00am. Still, it&#39;s his garden and not only does he know it, but it seems he wants the whole world to know it.
