And there have not been any cries of EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!. But we all know that men have a soft spot for an adolescent gull.

Tickable, now there is a question.

The bird appears to be a juv. is this correct?

How did the bird get here? It seems to be a long way out of its normal distribution and are they a migratory or nomadic species? Is it like the magpie of a month or two ago, ship assisted and untickable?

Or is it just another very lost bird?
