Last year we hand reared a seagull chick, called Fleck. I had to take it to my parents house in Norfolk for release, as we have a very tame adult wild gull who is very territorial. I haven't seen Fleck since, here is a picture that my dad sent yesterday, very cool.
I have, as you know, a labour of love at the moment. He has made it through the weekend and is amazing. He is still with an egg tooth, and so is just days old. He had fallen so far and into such a dangerous place, it is amazing he has survived. I am going to post a daily picture of him at my flickr so as to document his growth and development. As you know I already have a strange affiliation with a wild gull so I cannot release him here, and propose, all being well to release him from my parents who are in a position to give him support until he becomes independent.
