But the thing of interest has been the change of habit as far as Harry and Sally are concerned. Both young visit regular but one more than another. But for the last three days Harry has been rather strange. He is coming in but not feeding except when given fish.Which he takes and feeds the young. But turns his nose up at bread. It seems as if Harry has gone of the feed so he is trying to wean his young. The difference between him not eating and not feeding young is seemingly difficult to negotiate for him.
Although one young tries its luck with the bread. But the real interest is the relationship between Harry and Sally. She arrived on her own on the roof of the shed and fed on bread that had been left by Harry. Normally any gull that tries to eat what he leaves receives a quick reminder by a pass or a direct his from Harry. But she ate some and then he turned up at her side and moved in to remove her. She flew to a nearby chimney and he followed and moved her on. She flew to nest site and he moved her on again. So he is looking to securing his territory.
