Salty falls in love with his own reflection?

Salty had been delivering nesting material to a shop door on the High Street and was totally obsessed with his own reaction.

Another short Salty video here.

I have regularly seen this behaviour from a gull in the Fishertown. I suspect it's a trick they've picked up to try and get the occupants behind the door/window to give them food. The racket usually ensures I get up and shoo the gull away

Looks like Salty is wanting into the butchers for his sausages. :-D

Quite right anon, there are far too may people getting in the way of the wild birds and animals

Can we include you in the first cull?

I wrote the comment about salty wanting his sausages. I fully understand, listen and agree with concerns raised about Seagulls in the town that they can be a menace. But come on surely a little humour is allowed in this town.

Ah yes the menace of the seagull

We build structures (buildings) that the seagulls find perfect as nest sites but we don't like that

Some people feed the gulls and that attracts them to us and the town as a source of food

We have more or less removed a great proportion of the fish in the sea, so their natural food is no longer there

Sea birds are in decline

Nairn is beside the sea, so we have seagulls

Should the hapless birds move to the beach there are some dog owners who think it's great fun to let their pooch chase the gulls

And the answer to this from Anon 6:07, lets kill them
