I saw one actually trying to bully a Black Backed Gull into giving up it's dinner a few days ago. I have to say that I had no sympathy. I've see a B B Gull take the eyes out of a new-born lamb so that it will die and the gull can eat it. Nature can be exceedingly unpleasant at times.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-86649713255697032742012-06-30T18:10:09.738+01:002012-06-30T18:10:09.738+01:00Up here in the Hebrides they are also known as Bon...Up here in the Hebrides they are also known as Bonxies.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-87169249025126700532012-06-30T18:08:25.192+01:002012-06-30T18:08:25.192+01:00Thanks Meike.
