Saw a seagull hit by a motorist this morning at Wherrytown - ok, I'll assume it wasn't deliberate ....
I took it over to Mousehole, but they didn't hold out much hope for it so it was likely it was going to be put to sleep. The woman there said it was quite common and speaking to my wife Nancy afterwards, she said she was quite disgusted to find that two people she knows have the attitude of 'if one's in the road, run it over'. I've also heard other people in the past complain about the noise and/or mess they make when they come in to nest (we get quite a few around where we are).
I think they are wonderful birds, not just to look at, but they are also a big part of living in a seaside town. When I lived away, quite often in the summer when I rang home, I could hear them in the background and it always made me home sick.
What's everyone else think - are you pro-seagulls or anti-seagulls?
