Floating on air

I took these pictures of Herring Gulls using the updraught, at the end of the cliffs at Kingsdown, to hang on the wind as they patrolled the retreating tide-line looking for tit-bits. I've put my idea of the age of the gulls, but if I've got them wrong please leave a correction.

Blue Tit Box. Tonight we've watch this ball of fluffy Blue Tit roosting in the box out side my study. This one isn't connected to my recorder at the moment so the picture was taken of the television screen it the kitchen.

It was quite fidgety, waking up for a shuffle and a stretch every now and again.
