Lookout! It's The Birds in Britain.

So all I have to add to this story is anyone thinking they MUST take this matter into his or her own hands, please give it a month or two first. Hell maybe it's a weird astronomical thing like some mass beachings are or perhaps there's a more sinister manmade reason they're temporarily on the offense.

Gulls are a protected species in the UK and killing one carries a potential maximum sentence of six months in jail or a £20,000 fine.

It will settle down in a month or so, they have been desperately feeding their young, it's just the time of year and to anyone living in my area it is pretty normal behaviour. The media have just gone a bit crazy about it this year for some reason, maybe a slow news week or something.
