Seagulls have a bad reputation. But is it deserved?
Join Ranger Rosie Holdsworth to meet the gulls in Poole Harbour known for their chip-stealing behaviour. Are these birds feathered thugs or smart survivors? We’ll discover the myths and surprising truths about one of Britain’s most controversial birds.
From their behaviours to their vital role in coastal ecosystems, uncover just what makes these ‘Gangster Gulls’ tick. Plus, we take part in a citizen science survey that helps track how these much-maligned seabirds are surviving in a changing world.
