I feel a bit like a proud parent sharing photos of their child when I post news of the Lesser black-backed gull that was born amongst a neighbour’s chimney pots but … here’s junior, a month on from the last update. It still comes back to the nest area almost every day, still screeches pleadingly at its parents for food, but it seems to be doing well, and looked rather splendid in the soft light early this morning.
Interesting following your gull. Here in inner city Bristol, we’ve been doing exactly the same thing, and ours comes back too. We call her ‘skylight’ because that was her perch, and were lucky enough to see her(?) first flight with mother. The neighbours hate the racket and are bored with our regular telephoto updates but we bonded anyway.

How lovely to hear of your gull bonding – and that’s a great name! 🙂
