A round-the-year story of an island colony of gulls in the Bristol Channel. As we follow them through the seasons, we delve into some of the intricacies of their lives: their subtle posturings, their feeding behaviour, and their mewing calls - so vitally meaningful to them, and to us an evocative reminder of seaside holidays.
