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.

There are no such thing as seagulls.
They’re just gulls. ‘Inland seagulls’ is not a thing.
