<\/span> <\/p>\nAnd here's a cute shot of one of the more established clutch of (now) 10. Meanwhile the gull chicks are thriving on the various rooftops at work. There are at least three clutches (possibly several more I've not yet located), but the original pair remain the most convenient to photograph; plus they've just discovered that they have wings, though they don't really know what to do with them. They still seem to be figuring out the open and close mechanism. A quiet night in the garden, if you discount the noise of the wind, so just a single shot of one of the cubs.
