The property market is booming and due to high demand and low supply, we need to be especially protective of our abodes. We are good-natured to most of our neighbours and require little space, but if a fellow guillemot attempts to land on your ledge, appropriate behaviour is to peck and shove the well-meaning intruder, even if they just want to rest. Ideally this should be done at the moment of landing, before they regain balance, and if necessary, follow through, chasing them to the sea below and fight for 5 – 10 minutes to drive home the point.
