Seagulls are increasingly in the news in the UK, as their behaviour towards humans seems to be getting more aggressive every year, especially in seaside locations. They dive-bomb humans to snatch food such as chips and ice-cream cones. Looking through my archives, I have about 80 images featuring the birds, and I've posted a small selection below. "Seagull" is catch-all term for various species of gull at the seaside. The ones here are all the commonly seen herring gull (Larus argentatus), apart from the black-headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) in Bournemouth.
