This is a truly beautiful film ❤ I enjoyed it very much ❤I've watched my upstairs Seagull neighbours, and those in and around my beachfront home, for the past 10 years and I love them dearly. This season I'm renovating a new flat, and can see onto the adjacent roof where parents were raising 3 babies. I loved watching them daily, seeing what they were up to in their little lives. Last Tuesday all 3 babies were growing well and looking healthy, and were all together on the roof outside my balcony. I greeted them warmly and smiled at how big they were getting. Unfortunately, 3 days later I noticed that the little one who I'd taken to be lying down in the shade, had still not moved, and alas, he had died. His sibling was wandering alone on the roof, with no sign of their parents, and the third was nowhere to be seen. I was heartbroken for this little family, which seemed to be doing so well. I kept a lookout on the little lone bird, who looked so lost, wandering to and fro, crying for his mother, and occasionally lying beside his dead sibling. I was devastated to think that his parents might have left him, or worse, been attacked. I can't tell you of my relief when his parents returned and had brought him some dinner! And even better, I then noticed that the third missing sibling was mooching about on the ground. Today, mum and baby were snoozing on the roof, with baby dutifully lying next to his deceased brother or sister, and I waited with my breath held until both mum and baby moved, so I could be sure they were still ok. And then I saw big baby walking around on the grass like he owned the place, and drinking out of a pot. This little family has utterly captivated me, and I wish that everybody could know just how precious these creatures are, and how lucky we are to live alongside them.
