A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

Seagulls are a pest here in the city. Im always amazed at how they proliferate in landlocked parking lots and parks. Strangely enough in Ucluelet.on Vancouver Island I dont see as many seagulls. Around the local Fish and Chip truck, black crows are the chip pest. They are bigger, even more aggresive and a lot more beady-eyed. At least they cluster in smaller groups … so more like thugs rather than mobs 🙂
Thugs lol. Black beady eyed crows can be daunting and unsettling, Sandy. The gulls here are pretty harmless and easily disturbed. Only small flocks with a random brave one like this. It is the ibis that can be annoying – they are colloquially called the ‘bin chicken’- Which gives you an idea of what they do. They have come become radically urbanised living off scraps in the city and a quite dirty; a bit like pigeons on crack!
I remember seeing ibis in Sydney and thinking them quite exotic..They were not rummaging in the bins at the time so I didnt realise their true calling..
Lol. Your stay was clearly not long enough to reveal their now perverted ways! Lol. You should see how many have colonised the city’s refus facility. It is quite disgusting. But then, it is not their fault. They have discovered a niche…

They are fun to watch and always immaculately clean, Peggy. In sharp contrast to the poor old Ibis.
