The Seagull has landed in a beautiful west Cork setting

FORGET ‘The Eagle has Landed’: July has had such a wet and windy start that even the seagulls are land-bound.

In Schull, west Cork, a house called The Seagull is a secure, year-round coastal perch for a family or flock, and by coincidence is owned by a couple with the surname of Wing.

Russell and Josephine Wing bought The Seagull, a bungalow on nearly four acres overlooking Schull, about 13 years ago from Skibbereen estate agent Charles McCarthy, and having steadily worked on it, have put it back up for sale with him once more.
