Seagull Prevention

I am installing 'roof netting' this year as the seagulls are not paying enough rent.
I get the odd fish-bit and a small mussel or a crab-claw, from time to time if I am lucky, but really it's not good enough and they will have to go !!

Richard. You appear to need to get out more and make a few friends. Why not invite the gulls down?

Time for a cull. Actually it was time for one 5 years ago.

the RSPB state the following:
"The herring gull is now red-listed owing to the severe declines in its national breeding population,"
740 000 over-wintering in total
140 000 breeding pairs
740 minus 280 (2X140 ) = 460 000 juvenile/non-breeding Gulls.
I find it hard to believe they are seriously in decline in Hastings and am surprised people are not allowed to prevent roof-nesting.

Yes I find it hard to believe too - they should ask someone who lives in the Old Town. The real question is - how can they possibly know? :whistle:
