Chris, this is such a fine write, short but wildy accurate, such clever wording.

However, much the same as I saw other day: woman sitting on quite a crowded beach throwing up bread to hordes of gulls who were diving and screaming all around her whilst adults and children nearby were ducking, petrified. Took two couples to dare the birds and have her stop. Friends/I wondered if she was 'poorly, lonely' but whatever -was so foolish, dangerous.

Thank you Em for checking this one out. She was probably lonely and thinking she was doing the gulls a kindness. Poor soul, not realising the havoc she was encouraging.

They can certainly squawk inland too.

They can indeed Grace. The double glazing does help. Doesn't cut it out all together, but it helps :) Thank you for your visit.

Many thanks Jacob, they are always so menacing in their behaviour.

I miss my sorties to Falmouth and Cornwall. Although we now have inland gulls they are silent and only the swooping. noisy type typify the coast. You once more convey this in a lovely senyru.

Many thanks John. The seagulls at the coast are so noisy. Even in the middle of the night they are in full flight. Especially if a fishing trawler returns back to base. West Coast is wonderful.
