Greetings from Rye

I live in Rye, East Sussex, UK. If we were in the USA, our state bird would be the seagull. Though this would likely mean we were in Utah, where confusingly the California Gull (seagull) is the state bird.

Lockdown in the UK, the response to COVID-19, has made Rye (even more of) a playground for the gulls, and their calls have redoubled since the appearance of hundreds of babies.
