I Thought I would show these photo's that I took in 2019 hope it brightens your day

Nice. Where did you get them?

Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Hi Clare
Fountains Abbey North Yorkshire, National Trust.

Lovely photos ILR, they are such impressive looking animals; we are lucky enough to have them in three local parklands near us although haven't travelled even the 7 miles to see them in the nearest location with lockdown still on. At least they will be there once restrictions are eased but I miss seeing them.

In reply to HAZY:

Thank you Hazel Your so lucky to have them within a short distance and three different locations too. I have been lucky to see four in the wild but only for a few seconds, the last one I saw jumped over a hedge as I was driving down a farmers track but soon disappeared across a field.
