Myriads of Gulls!

Todays juvenile Glaucous Gull  showing who's the boss

Apart from a short lunch break I spent all day around The Point. There were many 1,000s of Gulls today presumably attracted by a huge shoal of Sprats, many of which were stranded on the tide line and collected in buckets by locals. I took a number of photographs of the the Gulls today but none convey the sheer numbers of birds present.
