Not to mention all the other fast food outlets and local dumps. :lol: Thanks, Don.

Ha! I missed this one! Agreed it would look just as natural with a FF hanging from its mouth. :) Nice Shot Harvey.

I'm sure they have their preferences when it comes to food, but in the end gulls will eat anything. Great survivors, gulls. And they have great personalities. I like them very much. This is an excellent shot, Harvey!
