You have the creative ability to think around the problem constructively. <br /><br />If only it were so simple to stop seagulls nesting on buildings! I was in Scarborough recently and in parts it really was quite dangerous to walk along for fear of droppings from the scores of birds that had built big dirty ugly nests on the ledges of some of the buildings! <br />Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-29567485679171948792014-07-22T20:26:07.244+01:002014-07-22T20:26:07.244+01:00Clever idea, hope it works for you!

People forget, too, that the Black Backed Gulls are not only naturally vicious (they will kill new-born lambs) but very large (the wingspan is nearly a yard across) and not easily frightened.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-89758789678422376852014-07-20T08:39:05.992+01:002014-07-20T08:39:05.992+01:00So do I Vee.
