We asked why some gull species are using urban areas while others seem to avoid them. Could bigger-brained birds be more likely to use them?

Have you ever seen a #seabird not feeding their own chick? 🐥👀 In some species it is quite common, while in others it is not often reported. Is it because it is rare or are there other reasons?

Yr 2 post HPAI. For us a more subdued colony. Perhap some that lost a partner have not returned. Same gaps but a settled feel. Too early for immature & wandering prospecting adults
