This all came about because Beaky's parents (did you know gulls mate with the same partner every year and return to the same nesting site for most of the fertile part of their 30 year lifespans?) have returned to the roof and are building their nest as I type!
I am looking forward to this years batch of chicks.

Another artist shared this amazing time-lapse album of a nest being built with me, and I don't think she'll mind if you all take a look. The detail is amazing, the nests are built piece by piece in absolutely painstaking fashion; the gulls (cleverly) dip some pieces in water to soften them and make the nest easier to mold!
