I had this email and am sharing with you all as they really need help.
“I am getting in touch with you today, because of your love of seagulls. I love them so much too. There is a local cause called Bexhill and Hastings Wildlife Rescue who helps so many baby seagulls and it will be shutting down forever on July 1st, unless they raise enough funds to get a new premises. It breaks my heart to think of what will happen to all the baby seagulls, that look like cute little pom poms, if this happens. They help lots of other little birds and animals too. I was hoping that you might share this plight with your seagull loving crew, so that this cause can carry on their amazing work, and maybe spare a little donation yourself? I would also like to be part of your seagull loving crew. Here is link to Save Bexhill and Hastings Wildlife Rescue fundraising page: Bexhill + Hastings Wildlife Rescue And their facebook page to see a little of what they do: Facebook Page Bexhill + Hastings
Thanks!

Seagulls are beautiful creatures and if and are dying out in the wild due to us over fishing. If we don’t allow them to have our scraps.
Great work Jenny, well spoken. I know Paul Diamond and he is an excellent ecologist. I do feel for the lady who talks about the noise at 4am in the morning, but she also mentioned the quality of life in Exeter and I’m sure this outweighs the odd sleepless night. It does for me anyway!
Thanks Simon, look forward to speaking soon.
Great to see that they are others who really care for these absolutely wonderful birds.
I usually feed these birds and they have come to quickly recognize me whenever I pass by they would follow me,by quickly running after me,although I would not visually have any food on me.
What great feeling you get whenever you do see these and other beautiful birds.
All the best.
I am staying in St Ives . This is the hot bed of human antagonism towards seagulls . I say take a good look at these extraordinary birds that our God has freely gifted to us . They are so gracefull . So evocative of the seaside . Look harder and see their wonder . Praise be to the seagull. . See also the song called seagull by Bill Callaghan
