Notes:   The bird looks pretty settled & is feeding on the fisherman’s left over bait!! The bird does a patrol from the end of the South Jetty on the North side of Richards Bay Harbour Mouth to the beach area on the West side of the Helipad @Alkandstrand just beyond the Public Car Park. [Follow Richards Bay Sign from the N2, then the Meerendsee sign. Just before Meerendsee the road splits, take the right fork to Alkandstrand & follow the road to the beach & car Park. Keep to the right of the Car Park & go along the road past the Helipad on to the pier, where you can park & wait for the gull to appear.
