This lovely raven pair have set up home at a Byko store in Selfoss, Iceland! Aren't they beautiful?
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Now one walking on the far ledge.

Saying hi to Mom in her ledge perch.
I've been following these lovely birds too, but haven't been able to post as my account wasn't approved. Thanks to the admins for sorting that.
Now, I was very tired last night, but I am as sure as I can be that I saw one of the chicks fly back to the nest having not been in evidence for a good hour or so (unless it was hiding below the camera and I somehow misinterpreted what I saw). I thought it was an adult at first, but the other chicks didn't react as normal, and I then noticed that it was much the same size, with pink around the beak. Then an actual adult turned up and took up post at the back again.
Two are coming and going easily off the ledge as of this morning, leaving three in the nest.

Two on the far ledge.
Lots of flapping on the far ledge, feet leaving the surface!
The other favored activity besides flapping and branching, in between waiting for meals seems to be tugging at twigs on the nest.
Well, a parent showed up with food, and I saw 4 mouths on the nest and another head appear under the nest, on the ledge!
