Gull nests with eggs in car park

A confident common gull has become a talking point by nesting in the car park of a busy Aberdeen office.

The nest, which has two eggs in it, is on a grassed section of pavement outside the offices of Amec in Wellington Circle.



Worker Andy Russell said: "It's not the smartest of places to nest."

A spokesman for RSPB Scotland said: "We suspect this area gets relatively few pedestrians and the vehicle traffic won't bother the bird much. It's pretty unusual since common gulls, although they seem to be getting better adapted to cities, are not really a typical urban gull species."
