General Chat

I'm moving to Wales - 35 C is positively scorching - about 95 F. I wonder if they have one of those micro climates there?

Bet you don't know which way to turn this morning Mr. Cocoa - google, wiki, dictionary, GR Chat and so on - far too much excitement. Calm down dear ;-)

Island . . . . . seagulls! :-P

No seagulls here this morning yet, but pigeons, the other day we had
some geese going over.

Emma :-)

I can see the sea from the front of my house with windmills on the horizon and the odd boat
.I get a lot of herring gulls,who dirty my clean windows....they are a nuisance can hear them in a morning on my roof....and I have to watch out that they don't steal the food I put out for the birds on the bird table.
I have seeds etc they can't get at in the feeders,but they sit on my garage roof waiting to swoop.

A local school used to have a flock of gulls swoop down on to the playground after Break. It looked like an Alfred Hitchcock scene from 'The Birds' :-0

so hot here in Cardiff - all the doors and windows open - I'm in a swimsuit now!!!

I may not be by the sea, but as the river I live by is tidal I had always assumed the big birds with flappy wings that I see from my window sometimes were Seagulls - but I stand corrected

Ann - make sure you use suncream!

Vintagefinemaid - do the big birds with flappy wings make horrid screeching noises? They must be seagulls

I can see the boundary wall opposite, the play school (when I opened the window this morning I was greeted with the sounds of 'sosban fach'). Further are the hills on the other side of the bay.

I can also see seagulls, well they are gulls flying around the bay lolol

It's sunnyish and 7 degrees :-D

They can be quite raucous at times

I think most of us call them seagulls VFM :-)

We usually have gulls in abundance ,tho none around today , I live 30 mile inland, some gulls you can see almost anywhere, particularly the Black-headed Gull....
according to my RSPB Complete Book of British Birds :-D ;-)

No I'm not a 'Twitcher' or bird watcher I just have / like reference books .

I call them Sky rats,cos they are right scavengers . :-|

From my kitchen (front of house) we can see a round castle on a hill :-) :-)

From the back our garden, then garden at bottom with Fir trees approx 100ft high through the gaps fields and an old viaduct....we are very lucky:)

jude :-) :-)

If Laridae( a new word I learned this morning) at the coast are call seagulls........

then should not those that frequent lafill sites an others be call Landgulls?

probably meant 45° f

Amazing what we can see from our windows if we take time to look

after all

"What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to sit and stare"....

They certainly are raucous Vfm. I love the sound of gulls, they remind me of a very special and magical place :-D :-D

Jude that sounds lovely, am soo jealous ;-)

Emma :-)

Quite right Bob, if they ain't by the sea why call them 'seagulls'.

Why not just 'gulls'? :-D

I am so gullible.

:-D

You're just throwing out a red Herring, Prickles :-D
