Our friends have a flock and some of the rams currently live in the field at the end of our garden. They and I converse whenever I'm hanging out washing! My favourite colour is the caramel moorit.

It's often the way isn't it? Something comes into your view for the first time, and then you see or hear it all over tha place after that. I think they call these young gulls 'scories' in Shetland don't they?

Here's what they said about this: "Most types of seagulls are born with dark brown feathers. It takes three years for their plumage to change colors from nearly all brown to nearly all white with some darker streaks."<br />There are other fascinating facts about these birds in that post at: http://dailyapple.blogspot.com/2010/06/apple-464-seagulls.html<br /><br />honeybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10961626009477302550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-71123518335631181142013-09-30T09:10:50.508+01:002013-09-30T09:10:50.508+01:00You've never had seagulls nesting on your roof...You've never had seagulls nesting on your roof then. Those young birds look very familiar to me as we have a pair that nest most years behind our chimney. Slightly messy and incredibly noisy but otherwise no trouble.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying your account (and Kristie's) of your Shetland trip and I think the Relax looks splendid.Hatnoreply@blogger.com
