I find the sound of gulls very evocative, and even though we don't get them much round here, on the occasions that they do come a little bit inland - usually when the fields are being ploughed - I get quite excited just to hear their calls. Being small garden bird crazy I might not appreciate their daily visits and voracious appetites, but they're still birds and for that alone I gotta love 'em. And they are so mesmerising to watch, catching the breeze, bobbing on the waves or strutting about on the land.<br />As for songs - wow, you've started something there. One that immediately springs to mind that I've liked for a long time is the Hollies' 'Postcard'. The sound of the waves and the (albeit fairly quiet) gulls is the perfect start and finish to a pretty much perfect pop song to my ears. <br />(I also have it on fairly good authority that they are indeed corvids - no doubt anarchrows as you say, or perhaps rooks? - on FOPI's Tube Disaster/Neu Smell EP...)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.com
