Mi enemigo

It started a couple of weeks ago. I stepped out onto the terrace to read in the sunlight (for a few minutes before anyone gets any ideas about me actually sunbathing). Seconds later there was a squawk and it came, swooping down from the sky, making that awk awk sound and crapping.

The same thing happened the next time.

And the next…

I had a nemesis.

Nemesis the seagull. He’s there now, on the top of the crane opposite. He’s a bit protective of his territory, and he’s decided, without consulting me, that his territory includes my terrace. As soon as he spots me his neck extends and he gives a warning squawk. If I stand my ground he seems to shrug his birdy shoulders as if to say ‘I’ve told him a million times, but he just won’t listen’ and drops off his perch. He dive bombs and squawks and craps and doesn’t get bored of it.

  1. What you need to do is borrow a big, hungry, fowl-loving bruiser of a cat. Give him a nice soft cushion on the terrace…and let battle commence!!!
