2 The Seagull

Chapter 2 The Seagull I LOVE the seaside! Ooh, is that a kittiwake over there?

第二章海鸥我爱海边！哦，那边是三趾鸥吗？

As soon as the Mini Monsters were safely hidden behind a rock, Billy and Ruby sat down for the picnic. Food time!

当小怪物们被安全地藏在一块岩石后面时，比利和鲁比坐下来野餐。 食物的时间!

"Isn't this wonderful," said Billy's mum. "So relaxing." Billy looked over to see Fang-Face giving him a thumbs-up sign from the side of the rock. This is the life! We should have picnics every day. "Maybe the beach isn't so bad, after all," Billy thought. He could hear the waves crashing against the shore and the seagulls cawing on the wind.

“这不是很棒吗？”比利的妈妈说。 “那么放松。”比利看过去，看到尖牙脸站在岩石的一边对他竖起大拇指。 这就是生活！我们应该每天都野餐。 “也许海滩并不是那么糟糕，毕竟，”比利想。 他能听到海浪拍击海岸的声音和海鸥在风中鸣叫的声音。

One seagull landed on the beach near them. That's a herring gull. It's got a very sharp beak... The gull came closer... and closer. Then it snatched a biscuit from the picnic and gobbled it down.

一只海鸥降落在他们附近的海滩上。 那是一只银鸥。它有一个非常锋利的喙…… 海鸥靠近了……越来越近。 然后它从野餐桌上抓起一块饼干，狼吞虎咽地吃了下去。

Herring gulls will eat anything. Really? Oh yes. As the gull began to hop away, Billy's dad opened up his bird book and Billy went over to look.

银鸥什么都吃。 真的吗?噢,是的。当海鸥开始跳开时，比利的爸爸打开他的鸟书，比利走过去看。

"They're not scared of humans," Billy's dad went on. "They'll even steal food from people's hands." Herring Gull The herring gull is a large, noisy gull with a pale grey back and wings, and black and white wingtips. Length: 55-67 cm Wingspan: 135-145 cm Habitat: coasts & cities Diet: fish, other birds, eggs, rubbish Just then, Billy heard a small cry. It came from behind the rock.

“它们不怕人类，”比利的爸爸接着说。 “它们甚至会从人们手中偷走食物。” 银鸥是一种大而吵闹的海鸥，有着浅灰色的背部和翅膀，以及黑白相间的翼尖。 长度：55-67厘米翼展：135-145厘米栖息地：沿海和城市饮食：鱼，其他鸟类，蛋，垃圾就在这时，比利听到一声小叫声。 它从岩石后面传来。
