  5. Robert - they are herring gulls I think. And I know I've put them under 'beauty...' but really, they are cold and bored and waiting for the cold weather to go and the sun to come out... Like me. Except the bored bit. I don't recall ever having been bored. I'm insulating the ceiling at the moment with pink batts!
