Yesterday afternoon, I heard a bird cry in the sky and I thought for a moment they were geese flying. But no, I checked in the garden and they were seagulls. It got me quite sad. Because I think geese are birds that herald autumn: you see them flying south, you know autumn is on its way. See this post for more musing about them. But with seagulls, it's entirely different: they are the birds of summertime, of beaches and holidays. And as temperatures have become more typically summery again, the sight of seagulls did not fill me with joy.

And both seagulls and geese can be very bad tempered and attack humans.
