GULL ATTACKS SOAR

- STIAN ALEXANDER

HALF of all Brits say they have been targeted by seagulls in the past year.

And as figures show gull attacks have soared for the last five years in a row, the problem is only likely to worsen.

Around 720,000 seagulls patrol our skies, with around 530,000 living in cities - often on the lookout for an easy meal to grab.
