May has been a cold and rainy month, in my opinion, but all through this, I can see one of the Seagull spouses on this side of the chimney. Is it only Mrs. Seagull , or do the two of them alternate? I am not sure any more.
Today is a sunny day.
What I see today is that the seagull is opening her/his beak again and again, but I cannot hear any sound.
Is this some kind of announcement? Is she/he hungry? Have the chicks hatched? Probably not.
How long does a seagull lie on her eggs? According to one Norwegian website it can be from 22 to 24 days for small seagulls and 26 to 28 days for big seagulls.

That could mean that these chicks will be hatched roughly between May 30th and June 5th - this if my observation that they started their project on May 8th.
