A little surprise at the top of Caernarfon Castle, fuzzy little Herring Gull chicks. More birds at castles for us! Very camouflaged with the stone walls, the moss and the lichen.
Just the two of them all downy speckled and grey gangly legged. Enjoying the views across the River Seiont whilst mum has a rest with a beady eye still on passing tourists.
Each chick had a little venture out across the battlements, a stretch and a flop down again. Then back for a snuggle. Future ice cream thieves and seaside bullies in the making.
But for now it is the sights and the sounds of castle life for the two chicks. Two little princes up in the tower :) 
One of the reasons I love visiting wales with the kids is all the castles, especially as my boys love them
ReplyDeleteCastles are amazing, I love visiting them. What a fabulous surprise to find chicks though!
ReplyDeleteAwww how adorable are they! We love visiting castles too, I love all the history behind them.
ReplyDeleteSo cute when they are that age. Great images.
ReplyDeleteThey look so cute!
ReplyDeletehow adorable to capture these little balls of fluff, before they become chip-pinching screeching adults!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute! Worth the trek round the castle :)
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful to capture these chicks in the grounds of a castle. Looks like a fabulous place to visit and they are adorable - love their spotty heads!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find and a great place for them to hide out while they grow.
ReplyDeleteWho would have known they were so cute as babies?!
