I'm going to miss our seagull* when we leave here.
Our seagull is a black backed gull - a karoro:
He's been living here or should I say, we've been living here in his habitat for over 15 years. Karoro generally live for at least 20 years and our old mate - we call him John - is starting to show his age.
He's raised many offspring and it's been a joy watching them grow up and learn to fly. John lives on the beach in front of us and sensibly made his home yeras ago next to a freshwater stream that comes down from Mount Aubrey up behind our house
I walked out at low tide the other day and was able to get quite close to John. I guess he's familiar with us and at his age maybe doesn't want to keep flying away. I feed him sometimes with meat scraps. I like him.
* Not Robert's Holy Seagull. I don't trust that guy.

Shelley will be staying at least one bible length away from me this afternoon.
Take it easy.
It's for her own good.
I hope for her sake that she's using the Ethiopian bible.
