I'm afraid Helen the minimum age for posting on these forums is 18 years of age and as much as i like your your post, there are reasons given by the Moderators of the RSPB for this.

I've done the questionaire. Thomo, year 13 students are aged 17-18 so Helen may well be fine to post here.

I was 18 on the 4th. I reasoned a week from being 18 was close enough when I posted this. I apologize if you feel differently.
Thanks aiki
Completed the 3-question questionaire also. Time for bed :-)
I've completed it as well, Helen.
My daughter is also called Helen, by the way!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
