CHAOS AS SEAGULLS SWOOP ON TOURISTS

THERE was chaos outside a pub in a Welsh seaside town when seagulls swooped down on a woman peacefully having some food on an outside table.

There was shouting and the sound of items crashing to the floor from the table as the large and brazen birds helped themselves to whatever was on there.

For a number of years now seagulls have been a problem in Tenby, often swooping to grab chips and other food items directly from people's hands or laps.

Research in 2024 saw whichbingo create a list of the top spots to potentially have your grub pinched by a seagull and Tenby appeared at number 14.

The sight of a seagull swooping down onto an unattended plate outside the Lifeboat Tavern will only add to the growing list of videos shared on social media platforms of the food thieves in action.

A woman sitting at the table can be heard shouting with shock as up to five gulls swoop, steal and even manage to break a glass, before a heroic diner at a nearby table rushes to shoo them away.
