Seagulls Spotted Wearing Costume Remnants
Several local seagulls have been observed sporting unusual accessories following the Big Dip fancy dress swim. Lifeguard Jade Mosely reports a gull with “what appeared to be a mermaid’s tiara” nesting on her chimney, while fisherman Bert Hodge claims to have seen one wearing “half a superhero cape, flying faster than usual.”
Local bird experts advise against feeding these fashion-forward birds, as “they’re getting ideas above their station.”
Lost and Found Box Reaches Critical Mass
The Limpet Café’s lost property box has officially been declared a “small independent nation” following this year’s Big Dip. Items awaiting collection include: seventeen mismatched flip-flops, a waterproof watch still telling perfect time despite being full of sand, and a mysterious set of car keys that reportedly “unlock every door in town except the vehicle they belong to.” Owners are urged to collect items before Sally Trant “turns the lot into another art installation.”
