Recently, I’ve been noticing the gull riding higher on her nest…almost as though she had something more substantial than eggs, under her wings.
AND SHE DID!
Cute, puffy little gulls. Well done, ya dirty rooftop boinkers. Congratulations.
Yep! The minigulls are de-egged, and ambulatory. This afternoon, just before lunch, a pair of them tottered out of the nest, and poked their beaks round the corner. I didn’t get a very good look, or a very long one — Mr. and Mrs. Gull lost no time in herding them back to the nest — but there’s no doubt about it: those are two very small, very spotty gulls. I do hope they wander over this way, once they’re a bit bigger. I’d love a better look.
For now, though, it’s back to work with me; awfully busy, this week.
Congratulations, gulls; spy on you later. ;-)
