Nigel by swillinbillyflynn

Nigel

Nigel is one of those gulls who always has something to say for himself. Always squawking on about something whether anybody's listening or not.

He was complaining this morning about all the gulls coming from East Looe to West Looe recently. "They come over here raiding our bins and mugging our tourists, Souldn't be allowed. Send them all back where they came from." he says.

I did try to tell him that they were only gulls just like him...... and I had to remind him that his grandparents were originally refugees from the great gull cull in Polperro 15 years ago. Sadly he isn't interested in anybody else's opinion. Just likes the sound of his own beak.
gorgeous shot of Nigel. I remember take photos of East and West Looe back in the 80s on a visit - and Polperro.

Not only is the backstory awesome, you really captured the bird in mid complaint! The shallow depth of field works well.

Love Nigel and his life story. I've often wondered about the luck of the draw when it comes to bird geography. Who does control who lives where?
