Seagulls
A beach simply isn't a beach without Seagulls, not sparrows or robins, or
craws that are found around the country.
I
called this gull "Bengun" I think he was a famous seagull :) taken at Tenby.
Some people love seagulls, others hate them. Here is some more
information about these birds and why they are often considered to be pests.
Seagulls are large aggressive and noisy birds and can measure up to 68cm
from bill to tail and have a wingspan up to 85cm.
There are no byelaws prohibiting the feeding of
seagulls, however, the Council's has distributed 'Please Don't Feed the
Seagulls' posters to food businesses in all the seaside towns.
The herring gull is protected under the Wildlife
and Countryside, however, General Licences issued by the Department for
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, allow control measures to be taken
where there are public health or public safety concerns.
