I tried this once, but those gulls always landed the very moment I did not pay attention. ;-); 9 January 2009 at 00:37

Eleanor said...: Sensible gull, landing at St Francis! I wouldn't mind landing there to for a day or two! I like the photos of the kiewietjies. There is a mother and father (I assume) who greet the dogs and I everyday on the bit of open ground we tarry at during our morning walk. Do they kick up a fuss in the interests of protecting their nest! I feel so bad that we upset them so much. Parenting is a tough job!; 9 January 2009 at 13:45
