Juvenile Herring Gull ( Larus argentatus ) - Mussel mussel man !!

About 10 yrs ago I went to Rye and Hastings I marvelled at the corvids and gulls there shattering mussels on the roads and rocks.

A few weeks ago on 1 of my strolls with with young Mick I came across discarded mussel shells smashed on the hard ground ahh crows I thought but a few minutes later I caught this young herring gull in the act Wow !!

Clever adaptable birds .Whether its stealing chicks, mugging other birds, Hanging around fast food outlets (even at night in the cities) or at rubbish dumps .These birds are survivors.
