Sea gull neighbours

For teh last few years I have been following the herring gull nest sites that I could see from our garden. One on a chimney behind our garden and a roof top seen from teh front garden.

This year another pair of gulls have moved in behind our house, 2 houses away from the original pair.

 This morning they were mating on the conservatory roof in the garden behind ours.

Later one of the gulls, probably the male, came foraging in our garden.

Gulls rarely come into our back garden as its so small and requires almost a vertical take off to get back out.
