re-Gull (ex-scaffoldboardicus)
This coastal native bird is most closely related to a plank.
Unlike their cousins the Seagulls they require no chips at all to survive. They can remain in the same position for years and only require the occasional flick of a feather duster. Many species of gull have learned to co-exist successfully with man and have thrived in human habitats. This is particularly true of the re-Gull.
The Hastings Net Huts
The tarred and weatherboarded structures date from the 17th century. They were used for storage and net-drying by the fishermen and having been restored with a Heritage Lottery Grant, they're now one of the town's most historic landmarks.
The Nest Huts are our multi-storey sparrow nesting boxes based on these iconic buildings.
