Just come back from Town and there are a few 'hot spots' where the gulls are at their worst.
All round the junction of Mostyn St and Lloyd Street
Junction of Mostyn St and Gloddaeth
Prom--- near the Pier, near St Georges Hotel and the Pier itself.

I was only walking down the prom , not eating, chewing or even carrying food and they were swooping round and over me.--Not good for old folks and families! especially enjoying an ice - cream.

The worst 'hot spot' is near the jetty.  :laugh:

Actually one of the worst spots is in Dolydd/Dinas Rd, a dotty old lady enjoys feeding them, hence all the poop all over her house & the neighbouring houses.

4 nights ago she was at it again & I'm not exaggerating but there were in excess of 50 bloody seagulls flying/swooping over Dolydd.

I'd like to but would it be enforced?? I'm just glad we don't live next door to her, must be a nightmare when you've got washing pegged out!

Any ASBO should be enforced.  If they breach the conditions they can be arrested.    ZXZ

AN investigation was under way yesterday after seagulls died in a suspected poison attack.

At least three seagulls were killed and seven others needed treatment after the birds collapsed and started convulsing on Rhyl beach.

Initial inquiries suggest the birds died after eating poisoned chips and anyone with information was urged to call police.

A part of the beach was closed off to the public on Saturday for public safety while a cause was investigated.

Yesterday a Denbighshire County council spokeswoman said: “Council officers and council lifeguards had to deal with suspected poisoning of a number of seagulls over the weekend.

“Lifeguards and members of the public raised concerns on Saturday afternoon after large number of seagulls started collapsing on the beach in Rhyl. The gulls appeared to start convulsing and then collapsed.

These gulls should know better than eating chips from a Rhyl chippy.......That's asking for trouble WWW

I saw this young Seagull in Bangor the other day making off with a flattened Coke Can - why, I don't know!

I have been watching a baby seagull on the pier kiosk roof this last few days, it has a fishing line hanging from its mouth and therefore must have a fishing hook lodged in its throat.
It is getting weaker day by day, and incessantly lets out plaintive cries.

Its very sad to see, as I don't like to see anything suffer, but there isn't much that can be done when they stay so far away.

Dave R did say that, if caught, it could be helped by a local vet,  but catching it seems nigh on impossible.
