Caw, caw...

Why all this fuss about culling seagulls?  They're not an endangered species (quite the reverse) and they're ruthless scavengers and a down-right nuisance - and not just at the sea-side, they come right inland to scavenge at land-fill sites.  We get them here in the West Midlands, and we're about as far from the sea as you can get. They're not even particularly attractive birds, so I have no problem with fighting back against them by whatever means are at our disposal.  Darwinian "survival of the fittest" might even eventually result in them reverting to their traditional role of herring gull and plying their trade out at sea.
