Seagulls

Postby wendy » 01 Aug 2015, 12:35

They look rather majestic if you watch a solitary seagull flying swiftly through the air, very high up in the sky.
But when they get together it is a different matter.
Last night, they seemed to be having a party outside my house around 3pm flying round and round, swarking and swarking.
Do you get any problems with seagulls?

No, Wendy we are 30 miles from the coast so don't see them here often

We are about 25-30 miles from the coast and we get loads of them making a noise and sometimes they swoop down in the garden and pinch the food we put out for the little birds.

We are 30 miles from the sea and we get loads. I think they arrived when the MacDonalds came.

We've always had seagulls over, even more so in the winter, my nanny use to say it must be cold down the coast when they came inland.

Where my daughter lives she is also about 30 miles from the coast and they get loads.
Lots of cities are plagued by them.

We get the odd one or two here but luckily are not troubled by them.

We don't see many here and they cause no problems.
But I still feel peeved when I remember a big fat seagull who pinched my poached salmon sandwitch years ago in Devon when on holiday.
I had just it put it down on a wall , turned around to get the flask of tea, and he swooped and scoffed it do877
