Gulls 'Mine!'

There actually quite Similar to the ones in finding Nemo, apart from the whole speaking thing.

I took this picture in Salcom in Devon. There wasn't much in the way of wildlife so I made do with Sea Gulls, well European hearing gulls (because that sounds more impressive).

The live part of their diet includes Small crabs and fish, though most Gulls that live in urban areas can acquire more than half their diet from bins and landfill sites, or just make do by stealing food off humans.

Some Gulls will rob other birds of their prey, such as plovers and Lapwings, this is a technique called 'Kleptoparasitism'. This technique is used by many birds. It envolves scaring a bird into regurgitating it's food or just giving up it's catch. Skaus in particular are famous for it.

European hearing gulls grow to around 60 cm long and weight between 800 to 1250 grams, females are slightly smaller and so weigh less. Apart from the size, males and female gulls have almost identical plumage (Characteristics of the Feathers) in all stages of development.

Adults in breading plumage have a grey back and upper wings, while there head and under parts are white. Younger Gulls, are often brown with dark streaks and have a dark bill and eyes.

I wish I'd seen this sign sooner, I kept missing them.

This was actually on the back of a restaurant at Blackpool sands, it's not actually wild life.
