On Your Marks - Get Set - Gull!

Hooray - it was a bit warmer today so I whizzed through the work I had to get done and was off and out, through a park well-known for ducks and water voles. I saw some of each though they were camera-shy today.

Then I came upon this long line of gulls - seemingly waiting for the starting pistol. I'm no expert, but I think there are two types here:- the European Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) and the Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus). Any experts out there? And why do they all face the same way?

Today I had a further interview with a journalist and tomorrow, a photographer is coming. As soon as I know when the article will be published, I'll mention it here.
