[[in margin - three vertical lines & cross hatch doodle]] Some of these "Waaaa-waaaaa-waaaaa" OG's of ♂'s (even in pitch [[four horizontal lines evenly spaced]] etc) precede

[[image - pencil sketch of gull's head, beak tucked well down]] Twisted Withdrawn posture

Birds are definitely on the dull side 12:55 p.m.

[[in margin - 3 vertical lines & cross hatch doodle]]
Seen many examples of brief choking today. They all seem to be provoked by disputes with neighbors and intruders; but centered on the nest-site or station and directed toward the partner if parent.

Rather like "Triumph Ceremony" in some respects. Certainly no evidence of real "friendly" choking; but superficially more "friendly" than choking of the BCG.

[[in margin - cross hatch doodle]] Notice how low-intensity choking is reminiscent of some preliminary regurgitation movements

[[in margin - cross hatch doodle]] Ch. int. movement (almost like "Goethestellung") with 
definitely raised scapulars (although not actually ruffled very much)
