Seagull of the Month: January 2023

February 3, 2023February 3, 2023Joan L Baird

This seagull was spotted on Clyde Street, making his way to Kidston Park by following the cycle lane. Very sensible of him, except if he was on the new and completely ridiculous cycle lane by the pier, where he’d likely be run over while attempting to rejoin the busy main road.

September 30, 2022September 30, 2022Joan L Baird

This young ‘gull was spotted claiming a rock and showing no interest in the windsurfing exploits behind her in the balmy weather in early September. Sadly, she won’t see weather like this again for a good six months.
