Would you like a slice with that?


mine, originally uploaded by tmv_media.

Herring gull swooped down & took the bread before the black headed gull (in the foreground) had a chance to get to it. These birds are often referred to as "seagulls", however I'm fairly sure that there is no such animal as a seagull.

These birds get a really bad press, they're another of the birds I really like & almost everyone else seems to hate.

They're fantastic fliers & are opportunists - thus their bad reputation for stealing icecreams from tourists & such-like..

They'll eat anything they can get down their necks.
