I was in Miami a few years back. When looking out of my hotel window 40 odd stories up I saw a raptor or vulture pluck one straight off the wing (I'm guessing to take back to the nest to feed it's youngsters)

As a 15 yr old, I landed a summer job for the RSPB as assistant warden on Handa Island in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. The skuas and Herring Gulls there were vicious barstewards when nesting and we had to use long sticks to defend ourselves from attacks. On two or more occasions they took scalp flesh from visitors much to my joy. Back in the bothie, we chuckled that if they were from Brighton then they deserved it. And no, the word seagull is a layman's term, and is not used by biologists or ornithologists whereas eagle is a legitimate name. And hence the phrase.... Eagles s*** on seagulls. forever and ever,.... amen
Mine's a light and bitter. |

Edited by martin2412 (10 Jul 2019 8.55pm) bi carb wrapped in a bit of bread makes for exploding gulls so I am told by the locals in high class Hastings - when we play Brighton maybe we should throw tablets of alka seltzer at their fans or maybe roll mop herrings as well to remind them that they are really identified with herring gulls and their transition from dolphins to seagulls to hijack our eagles chant was fundamentally flawed and is yet further and conclusive proof of how profoundly silly they are
