Re: Seagulls mating

Hi,

And thanks, i had a few more chances for some great shots, but being the car it was difficult, with one chance of a Buzzard flying hedge top height down the side of the car carrying its kill beneath it. This is the first time i've seen this before and the kill looked odd too, black and white and the size of a Guinea Pig with something dangling from it!! No chance of getting the camera up in time unfortunately. Still can't think what the kill was either but the Buzzard flew so close it was over in a few seconds.

The mating pics where not the only ones, they were also at it on the Lizard ten to the dozen! They seem to go through a ritual first of rubbing themselves up and down one another, with the male making a weird noise then he wastes no time and humps the female for a few seconds and then gets off, flies away and leaves her to it!
