They aren't taking over the world but they do have a tendency to turn up anywhere there's a sandwich. Thanks to Ed McGuiggan for sending us these pics which were taken on the top of Mount Snowdon in Wales! As mentioned before on this blog Herring Gulls are having a tough time in Northern Ireland - love them or hate them they do provide entertainment. Now that the Corncrake is extinct here we should adopt the Herring Gull as our national bird. On that subject - what is our national bird?
We may as well use this as an excuse to show this classic clip.

Who can get tired of watching a seagull steal a bag of Doritos?

Newsflash:
The Terek Sandpiper has been found again at Rogerstown Estuary, Co. Dublin - it's less than 50 miles from the border so let's hope it's flushed north! Now the world has suddenly got 2.5% more expensive it's best to distract ourselves with nonsense.
