Some of us older folk need a pee at 5.45am and I had asked my tame geese to be ready at that time to fly past our spare bedroom window. No AI need just an amazing sunrise. Sony RX 10 camera,

Had a weird experience yesterday! A flock of gulls descended on the lawn to pick up some scraps and one rather dishevelled herring gull stayed behind. Throughout the day he wandered around the garden, often harassed by magpies pecking his tail…he then charged back at them. Surprisingly, he even climbed on the bird baths and drank his fill….before emptying the ‘other end’ in there. (Why do they do that? Pigeons are just the same!) He was still there as evening approached so I threw him some leftover bits of chicken and ham…which he charged after and gobbled down. Thought no more about it until 11pm, pitch dark and suddenly it flew at the patio doors several times, trying to get in. Quite a big bird to be banging on the window late at night! So I chucked out some more chicken and then shut the curtains so he couldn’t see us…and went to bed. He was still on the patio next morning! So I opened up the side gate and “ushered” him out, before shutting the gate behind. He could have flown back I suppose but a few minutes later he got the message and flew away. We were left puzzled by his actions. Was he sick? Traumatised? Mental? He had dirty marks all over ….very scruffy but perfectly mobile and alert. Anyway it got rid of some meat leftovers. lol But having a gull attack the patio doors after dark was a bit Hitchco*k.   Click here to comment on this image.  Click here to comment on this image.

Question for Iain….he hasn’t got a yellow eye ring, so is he not quite fully adult? Possible 3rd year bird? As they apparently have paler eyes and dirty pink legs. Certainly not a breeding bird ..with tatty condition like that no respectable lady would give him a second glance.

I would say third year. As for its appearance it should well be in moult as most birds go through it after breading season.
