Just read up about these critters & supposedly if threatened they have the ability to projectile vomit powerful stomach acids. At least seagulls just pinch your chips! :-) Up to a 10' range, evidently. I've watched them scarfing down dead squirrels or raccoons and whatnot but never been quite as close as that, and now never intend to be with that info. I value having shoes. In the air, you rarely see them flap. They soar on thermals a lot but not as elegantly as, say, kites. They sometimes 'topple' a bit, like they're on training wheels, or like a slightly tipsy aunt on high heels. Like near the start of this video: Reminds me of the hairy arsed defenders from the NLN days.

Cut the lawn tonight Vic. Still a lazy, bone-idle waster, but the lawn looks good. The weeks work and the grasscutting melted away with some serious downage, birdage and a lovely sunset. Oh well, no work tomorrow and a wobble round the olde town to look forward to.
