Social distancing in nature

Recently, as I walked on the Tasman Bridge looking down onto the sports oval of the Montagu Bay Primary School, I was stunned to see the black and white shapes of dozens of Pacific Gulls standing around with a few pecking for worms or other insects.

You can read about this native bird here.  Thanks to the internet you can see one here.

Not only was I surprised by the number of such birds together but also by the distances each stood from the next. It was a wonderful natural model for our ‘should be’ behaviour during this virus pandemic.
