This year's drama has just started .....

Last year I was fascinated by Mr. and Mrs. Seagull . They took up  residence on the other side of the street, next to my neighbour's chimney.

After the eggs had been laid,  the male and the female alternated keeping  the eggs warm.

Later, when the baby seagulls had been hatched, the parents were busy feeding them, flying back and forth.

The last rather nervewracking  part was following how the baby chicks navigated on the roof. Would they fall down? Would they live to make that flight to a life outside that roof?

What will happen this year?

Yesterday, despite the cold weather, Mr. and Mrs.Seagull  were back.

Today I can see the head of one of them just above the gable. It must be the female waiting to lay her eggs, I believe. 

After some time, the spouse arrived, keeping a little distance. Can you see him?

It is raining a little bit today, but the two of them seem not to be bothered by the rain - she in the nest, he standing on the roof.
