How Massive Is This Bird?!

Can you believe it?! The seagulls here are bigger than crows! (And as we all know, crows are massive). The photo above was surreptitiously taken by me this morning, as the bird was greedily eyeing our delicious breakfast on the roof terrace of our hotel.

They are the same size in Europe too and we saw one of them eating (or perhaps it may be more correct to say tearing the flesh off) a pigeon in Barcelona. I'll say it again, just in case you disbelieve me or think you may have misread my words (and also to increase the effect): it was eating a pigeon. Needless to say, we steered clear of that particular bird.

On the bright side, they don't squawk as horribly as ours do.

And that is the end of this quite random post.
