The boys....

...are back in town - or the boy, at least. Was on a bus heading up to Elm Row for an urgent coffee re-up, when I noticed this huge creature on top of  a phone box. There have only been the less heavily built black-headed gulls around over the winter - this is probably a lesser-black-backed but having not seen one for ages he looked the size of a gannet! Maybe the weather out at sea has got too much even for them. He was looking like he owned the place - of course, in the early summer months, he does. Only had one shot, before the bus moved and he swooped down on some undoubtedly disgusting morsel that he'd spied.

I'd spent the night only intermittently sleeping and felt tired all day - maybe that would be classed as post-vaccination fatigue in the symptom study. Otherwise nothing untoward to report. And in other news, Ogatodomar's had some things taken out of his neck (!) and look, the forsythia buds have opened (see extra).
