suzeanna Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 We're used to seeing seagulls going back and forth morning and evening, I imagine to Ogston reservoir, but the last few nights something really really big has been flying over. Always alone, which is unusual. Having looked him/her up, it's either a lesser or greater black backed gull. Whichever it is, it's certainly much bigger than the usual gulls we see.  Rather baffled by our rodents in the garden. They look rather big to be mice, but small to be rats! They bounce across the garden, which is more mouselike I think. We've concluded they must be interbreeding, so we' ve either got mats or rice! Candy is interested in where they go to but not enough to try to catch one. Must order some traps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Mats or rice 😂 Love the description (though not having the rodents obviously ) Perhaps the black backed gull will see them as a tasty snack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Well, Philip saw two of the gulls perched on top of a house a little way along the street, he said by the size, they are lesser black backed but still pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 The greater black backed gull is almost the size of a goose, but the lesser version is still a big bird. Lesser has yellowish legs, greater has pink ones. Both rats and mice can jump I think. Sounds as of you have some young rats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 When I saw my oncologist on 11th May and he told me about my dilated aorta, he was very concerned I hadn't been referred to a vascular consultant and said he would do it. The oncologist I saw on 29th May asked had I got an appt and I said no, he said give it another week then chase it up. Right. Easier said than done! The new appointments dept had nothing, so she gave me the direct number for the vascular secretary. All you get is an answering machine! I left a message on Monday, yesterday and today...zilch. How the heck am I meant to chase it up? I wish he'd never told me, ignorance is bliss. Now I wonder if the darmn thing is going to go bang at any moment. The gulls are upsetting the other birds round here, I saw one being chased off by a crow and two magpies! Funny to see really, as the gull was bigger than those three put together but they seemed to have the upper hand. Hope you get somewhere with the consultant Jazz.

owl Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Morning everyone. Staying safe is less of a problem for me than staying sane. Not because of lack of socialising, but too much cyber contact with people. I can't drop off social media as long as I am on the Doglost team really, and it does have its uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
