Gulls

tosscat

I've only really noticed gulls in town for the first time this year. Are they new arrivals, or have I not been very observant in the past.

Marquis

The latter.

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagull_Monument">There appears to be a seagull monument in Salt Lake City</a> - perhaps Debbie could confirm?

Last time I looked, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah">Utah </a>is even further from a coast than London...

gulls are notoriously gullible

I'd never noticed the gulls until July 7th bombings. Covent Garden was (unsurprisingly) like a ghost town, no people, no traffic. Suddenly I could hear loads of them. I think they just get drowned out with the general city noise. Not that odd to have them though, surely they just follow the river in? There must be a twitcher amongst us to confirm?

Yes there are seagulls in Salt lake City. But I live about three hours away from Salt Lake, but next time I go I will look to see if the monument is there. But Wiki said there was tho.
