At mid-day a gaggle of 15 - 20 Yellow-rumped Warblers shuffled gently through the trees around our Hall's Harbour house, chattering gently to one another as they moved through the woods in a south-westerly direction. A few White-throated Sparrows fluttered along with them, in their shy, non-intrusive fashion. Down at the harbour, 60 or 80 gulls, Herrings, Black-backed and Ringbills gathered in a very small circle in the middle of the harbour about half an hour before low water, screaming, screeching and jostling as they dove for apparently edible creatures that I couldn't identify - all I could see the gulls surfaced from their dives and before the final (for the delicacy) gulp, was a hunk of gray material. I hardly thought it was a shell, but I know little about these creatures ingest. "Anything" would probably be the response of more knowledgeable gull watchers. Mike McCall
