They've been divebombing us for weeks, but today one of them drew blood. Poor innocent S, walking towards the car, was hit from behind by one of our mafia attack seagulls with both feet extended. With blood pouring down his face he returned indoors where his wounds were bathed and bandaged.
The chicks have hatched. They'd got out of the nest and wandered round to the wrong side of the chimneystack, causing havoc amongst their extended family. At least eight adult gulls swooped and screamed over our roof as we made a second attempt to reach the car. Only by dint of wearing strong hats and waving sweeping brushes at them did we manage it.
