This past week a flock of 40+ seagulls have taken residence in the paddock
next to my house. In previous years I have seen the odd one but this many?
Is this special? Why are they here, the coast is circa 9 miles away? They
are not especially noisy though they have crapped over my campervan. In fact
they hardly ever screech. The flock soars very high at times and it seems to
be getting bigger. Are they on their holidays :-) Resident jackdaws seem to
have been spooked by the invasion and have moved away from the house.
Housemartins are also increasing in number from recent years.

All camper vans should be crapped upon. They are a blight on the roads. As for the seagulls. Great. Means there's fewer on the coast. 😎
