MARINE LIFE: The young gulls are quite skilled now in their flying so there are few incidents of fights because of landing in other gull territory.Most seem to be feeding themselves although there are still some young that get very aggressive, pecking at the parent’s bill and face to be fed.The parents swing their heads, walk away and if the harassment continues fly away.Nice to see a healthy generation of young gulls this year about 120 fully fledged so far.
HUMAN INTERACTION:There were 25 Ecotour boats, 3 pleasure craft,the 3M boat,1 dive boat in the reserve and Second Nature made 2 trips today.
