Again, to quote something I read recently, gulls are "angels in the air and rats on the ground." So very true. As much as I want to loathe these guys (they really, really, really can be irritating), they are still absolutely stunning animals . . . and, from time to time, I must admit that I do find them very distinctive with personality and animated.
