They're fluffy at that stage, but they're horrible vulture-like things, and they get quite aggressive when nesting. Not nice neighbours.

Couldn't agree more Robert - they are a real pest here in the bay where they can be quite aggressive and also make an awful mess over everything, including your head if you are unlucky!

They did make a mess of my head, and my hand and my arm :D :D

They actually terrorised Port Isaac, the locals reckons its the seagulls that are in charge of the place and boy are they right :o They were the most badly behaved seagulls that I have ever come across, it was unbelievable!

Thanks for the kind comments.
