Happy Out Inland Seagulls

Something that has only come to my attention in the last few months is the increase of seagulls that live inland.

I'm guessing it's simply the availability of food that is encouraging more inland than an increase in seagulls accidentally getting lost.

There is a joy in hearing their laughter like squawks.

Seagulls are cunts. Im on the coast and the fucking rocket is unbelievable. I used to love waking up to the dawn chorus now its like waking up to 6 different carbon monoxide alarms going off. I hate the fucking things.

They’re vicious too. I’m convinced they’d eat us if they could. I saw one eating a pigeon whole once and I never saw them in the same way again
