Today off the National Museum I saw a very young silver gull in the
lake. Initially it was at a distance of about fifty metres and
looked like a tiny duckling. However adult gulls were giving alarm
calls and diving at a nearby adult black duck and alternately
alighting on the water near the young one. When the baby finally
made it to shore where I was standing it was obvious that it was a
very young gull - still downy and a long way off flight. It was
battling just to keep paddling. Interesting to know where seagulls
might be breeding around here.
