Herring Gulls on a roof at Inverness College.

Those chicks have passed the cute stage, and are now rather ugly (IMO). They'll get better looking later. Doesn't mean I'll like them any more though. Noisy, messy, and viscous buggers that they are. And I say that as someone that likes birds. The sheer numbers of them about Inverness is leading to all sorts of conflict and hygiene issues. Largely due to the actions, and inactions of we humans. Note the litter...
