This seagull was spotted on Clyde Street, making his way to Kidston Park by following the cycle lane. Very sensible of him, except if he was on the new and completely ridiculous cycle lane by the pier, where he’d likely be run over while attempting to rejoin the busy main road.

Our final seagull of the month for 2022 was photographed on the afternoon of the last day of the year. Staying out of the cold River Clyde, perhaps she’s looking forward to what 2023 will have in store – hopefully some warmer weather for us all.

This young seagull was seen foraging in the seaweed on top of a groyne in the east bay. Not the warmest way to spend St Andrew’s day but perhaps she found something to nibble on

This young ‘gull was spotted claiming a rock and showing no interest in the windsurfing exploits behind her in the balmy weather in early September. Sadly, she won’t see weather like this again for a good six months.
