I hadn't seen Steve for ages and was starting to worry about her, but she turned up yesterday for a couple of pieces of cake. We then chilled together for a while. It was so nice to see her again.

Never mind the crow bros, here's the gullfriends.
Herring gulls live for 12 years, mate for life, and are intelligent social birds. This is a place to appreciate positive interactions with the little skwarkers. They are on the red endangered list in the UK and a protected species, so let's all be nice to them.
Rules:
- No offensive or illegal content.
- Let's be positive about our feathered friends. No complaining about stolen chips.
- Posts can be text, image or both.
- Must be gull-related. Any type of gull.
That will do for now. We'll see how it goes.

How do you recognize her?
I'm pretty sure it's a her because she is more petit than other gulls. She's a regular here because she knew where to come for a snack. She didn't fly away when I went near her, so she's not Nemesis (who is larger anyway), she didn't have Spot's cheek dimple or Other Steve's black marks on her bill. So by a process of elimination, it must have been Original Steve.
Cool. Say hi to her from me.
