Seagulls II

I call all seagulls Steven (apart from the ones I call Stephen) cos it is in a small way amusing to call them after an 80s helmet-haired martial artist.  Today I saw two Stevens locked in an awkward embrace, one beak thrust inside the other’s.  The first Steven opened his beak wide inside second Steven’s mouth in order to grab a chip.  The second Steven clamped his beak down lest first Steven’s beak poke further down his throat.  Wings outstretched they hovered a metre off the ground, trying to fly backwards away from each other.  It was very much like my early snogs.
