Well, there's one way of dealing with marauding Gulls....

Quote:
"Super falcons" are being used by three coastal towns to try to stop "nuisance" seagulls disturbing people.

Councils in Exmouth, Sidmouth and Seaton are splashing out £15,000 in an effort to stop the gulls nesting.

Falconer Jonathan Marshall said: "The birds are crossed between a peregrine, gyr and saker falcon.

"Peregrines are the fastest, gyr are the largest and saker are very aggressive and persistent, which make a manmade super falcon."
