Thanks to a regular readar for alerting the Gurn to this interesting Guardian article:
"In the summer breeding season, which is fast approaching, they can become aggressive. Appeals to residents not to feed them, hawks and anti-litter campaigns have made little difference. Now, the local council is about to trial a new deterrent by painting bright red patches at key locations around the town." More here.
brings a whole new meaning too painting the town red, but if it works why not try it, i was down at the harbour yesterday and we were just siting at the seafront, the family in the car next too us were putting out food with a sign just in front of them saying do not feed the seagulls? makes you wonder sometimes.

ReplyDeleteregards too the bridge i hear it is going to be painted not sure what colour it will be, but has too be better than the way it looks at the moment.
