Happy Birthday Steven

I reckon Steven Seagael my feathered friend is probably about one year old now, and what a year he's had. From trailing a broken wing, being infested with lice and half starved, his will to survive won through. This goes for all living things, so we shouldn't be surprised that gulls make use of the environment that suits them. Maybe learning to live in harmony together is the best option. If people are serious about tackling the "gull problem", then we should start by changing the building regulations immediately to ban all flat roof building in urban areas - pitched roofs only please ! The government could start converting every flat roofed house - I would be happy if they would start with mine ! Meanwhile some pictorial reminders of Steven's first year with captions.

Hi Elaine, Yeah it is good news about the mink. I have been told that around geddes 60 have been caught and 30 on the river Nairn too ! I have also found out that the river Ythan in Aberdeenshire has been cleared of mink after a 3 year trapping program. This is good news because it proves the problem can be tackled and won.
