Ever thought how much us sea-side dwellers loathe these rats with wings (I would never hurt one though) but they rip open our rubbish, mess up our town, flap their wings, squawk incessantly and sh*t on everyone on the beach. If those were human traits we'd stay well away!

...this year we noticed a few more seagulls on our beach moving in packs they followed each other around hung out in gaggles, fought over scraps and bought whatever the magazines told them to....being unable to think for yourself is another seagull trait. I then thought how I'd always sailed alone usually right out back not by the beach craving public adoration. So like the eagle not afraid to soar alone we created team eagle..a few rare birds with altitude!

There's bald eagle the Rothwell bird, Mohawk (now no-hawk) the Blowerbird sporting new eagle cut, Spikey eagle, I'm Golden eagle 'cos the sun shines form u know where and Erika's been given the honorary title of spread eagle... and our resident lensman Illegal..so any more tags gratefully received..wot is he on about?

Don't be afraid to stand alone whilst others mock..no-one pays the seagull much heed...but the Eagle soars! Hence our recent ad's in the mags!
