Jog on the spot!

spent the best part of yesterday doing last minute Christmas shopping with my mum. the shops seemed relatively quiet but the traffic was a nightmare. We decided that everyone must be out on a last minute christmas road trip randomly driving round the streets!

So we got stuck in this big trafic jam near the harbour and saw the funniest thing... a seagull jogging on the spot!!! im serious! its little legs were going so fast.At first we just laughed then my mum told me that the reason it was doing it was so the worms would think it was raining and come up to the surface (to be eaten by a giant seagull enevitably...poor worm!), it as really funny though, and as we moved (slowly)along the road we noticed all the seagulls doing it. You really should look out for it, its hilarious! anyway...what was more funny was that my mums next sentence begin...See Sam, its that kind of thing that makes me think that there must be a God (to which i laughed! because it was like a tacky cringeworthy bit at the end of a christmas film(or mums favorite programme "touched by an angel" - hee hee))

anyway she justified her point by saying "think about it, how do they know that stamping on the ground makes worms think its raining, its only us silly humans that need to be taught to do things, people cant teach seagulls that...God made them know to do that!"

Seagulls though...watch them...it's funny!

    Hold on... Was this the seagulls in granton? If So, there would be HUGE holes in the ground! They are as big as cats!

    in Devon they have a competition/festival of 'worm charming'..
    you get a 4square meter plot of a field and about 5hours, whoever gets the most worms out wins..
    is a team event,
    tactics include water,stamping,music,smoke,electic shocks,other ceremonies(?!)

    I hear Granton seagulls have to keep fit to avoid all the sharks.
