Seagulls will be forever associated with seaside holiday towns. However, these highly adaptable birds are increasingly found inland in our urban cities, sitting and roosting on our roofs and buildings.
Seagulls are found on every continent of the world. This hardy species of bird can survive the coldest climates, including Antarctica and the Arctic, as well as warmer temperatures, like deserts and tropical islands, such as the Galapagos.
The three main species sometimes seen as pests are the Herring Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull and the Greater Black-backed Gull. These strong sea birds are quite large - their wing span can reach a whopping 165 cm, which can be incredibly threatening when they launch a surprise attack on your Mr Whippy ice cream or portion of fries.
