The takeover

I had never seen as many seagulls in the gardens as that last time we visited. I guess with the draining of the lake and the departure of the heron and most of the other usual residents, the seagulls and crows took the opportunity to move in.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
