| Black-headed Gulls, Chroicocephalus ridibundus |
On Friday I called into Arundel WWT where I found more
ducklings and witnessed some aggressive Black-headed Gull behaviour at the Sand
Martin hide.

| Black-headed Gull, Chroicocephalus ridibundus |
This gull was king of the pole for some time, then another gull decided to dispute ownership.
This gull flew back and forth with this plant material. Was this an offering to a female to impress her with his suitability for marital bliss.

They passed by in front of the hide and a drake waddled by. The duck told him very loudly that he should carry on walking by and not come near her ducklings.
