You need to also read the comments from the bottom upwards regarding allen keys.

Nah its fine foxyrider, feeding bread to seagulls was only banned under the DORA (Defence Of the Realm Act) which was repealed in 1919.

oh well – Natural England says you can get a licence to remove said nests if they are causing health and safety issue!

Our Local council paint their eggs with oil to prevent them hatching. Wont shoot them or remove nests but stop them reproducing…

Bicarbonate of soda. Balls of bread. Et voi-splat!

I understood it was Carbide not Bicarb 😕

Have you tried using a Herring Aid?

I am not that Gullible 😉

You’ll have to be Cawtious as to how you proceed….

Just wing it.

That would fly in the face of convention.
