I do find them and others of the wingéd and feathered species fascinating to watch.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-27895982505859079862013-07-05T13:52:35.095+01:002013-07-05T13:52:35.095+01:00Sorry you had that experience, but it shows how al...Sorry you had that experience, but it shows how all living beings use whatever they have at hand to protect what little they have. I love those birds… and watching them soar through the air.

We have lots at the rescue and I kid you not, they are the most vicious creatures I've ever come across! We have to wear gloves when dealing with them, even the chicks, but they still manage to cut through the cloth. And the mess they make is unbelievable!!! I do love them though, I like a bit of attitude!!!xxxxSnowbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572555410663928295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-25529997167528812622013-07-04T15:15:11.886+01:002013-07-04T15:15:11.886+01:00My sympathies, one seagull is bad enough but three...My sympathies, one seagull is bad enough but three...!

I am hoping I don't get 'bleach' marks over my clothes. I did try to reduce the damage asap.<br /><br />The photo- I cannot lay claim to that one, my pictures of seagulls are much more 'cute'. I felt the picture demonstrated exactly what I saw.
