Seagull

You can't have a model fishing boat without a model seagull and the resin one supplied with the kit is pretty good.

A quick look in a book of nature stuff gave the colour scheme - nothing clever, just a common gull but something that is difficult to guess or remember for the non-birdwatcher. If it was a goldfinch I'd know as there are dozens in the garden, but gulls - not around here.

To fix the bird securely, a hole was drilled between the legs. A short piece of wire was glued in and this slots into a matching hole in the top of the mast.
