In Venice getting lost was often more interesting than being
in a crowded piazza.

Agreed. BTW, not to nit-pick, but I was interested to read (I might have
known it before, but forgot!) that Venice only has one piazza- the
obvious one. The others are called campos.

Not to nit-pick, but they are "campi" actually.

I got very entertained in Barcelona seeing a seagull feasting down on
a pigeon.

I was part of a crowd of folks watching a seagulls tear open a rubbish
bag in Venice. There were a number of people filming it.

There's an anti-seagull action going on in Leiden.

Any anti-pigeon action going on, feel free to post a link to the video!

There's very few birds in Leiden though, it's always struck me how
much more waterfowl of all sorts in Kingston than in Leiden.

Look upwards to the sky. On the days when they sort the green rubbish the sky is
black with seagulls.
They regularly round up and relocate the geese from the Leiden canals.

Ah, that would explain it, but why? Now I'm no longer homeless the
flats I live in are proud of all the stuff they've added to encourage
birds (swans / geese / ducks and other waterfowl)

Wow, from homeless to multi-homed- impressive!

Unfortunately I just have one of the flats, other people live in the
others - not that I've met any of them, this is London (well I'd get a
vote for the mayor if I chose to vote here)

I know what you mean. When I lived in London, I knew very few of my
neighbours. Actually, now I live in Manchester, I know very few of them
either. In a way, I like it like that- but the building seems
deserted though, I very rarely bump into anyone. Just noticed that
google earth has updated the Manchester pictures, so the building I live
in is there now, but a couple across from me are still parking lots...
