"While some could see no harm in feeding gulls in their own gardens most people expressed support for Moray Council’s stance that they would, after sufficient warning, take out the legally-binding orders against people who refused to stop the practice." More on the STV Forres pages.
Nairnshire's resident urban seagull population could be quite active by May 3rd. This observer wonders if the election candidates might find the gulls an issue on the doorstep. Whilst we've mentioned this issue many times on the Gurn, including the recent "token gesture"
and Inverness spending £5,000 on research to get results that you could probably have googled anyway, the ASBOs for seagull feeders idea does seem to be a new initiative.

Want to kill the seagulls already, walking over my car roof with dirty footprints...only got it washed yesterday...
Time to do something about these seagulls as they are now putting tourists off the place with their dive bombing little children for food and their general mass droppings and their loud racaous cries... I think we need a hitman.
They do nothing good for the town.Can we not have a cull on them or even destroy the eggs to try and get the numbers down.....In my own opinion they are flying rats !!!!
Nairn Without Seagulls! c'mon, get real all you people.
So, 'we' create a man made environment that is attractive to the gulls including food handouts and then call foul when they annoy us
They are protected birds and under threat already

Once again the Gurn would recommend reading anything on the net you can find from seagull expert Peter Rock
Here's one interesting article
