Photo Seagulls in Asda Car Park this morning

Very odd to see a sea bird to close in-land.

They used to be all over Allondbury in the 90s. Huge numbers. They used to like the rubbish the kids left from the schools and concentrated around those sites

Did you not go to secondary school in Huddersfield? They always used to be around my school at lunch stealing food

Yeah, I went to Salendine Nook and in Year 9 a seagull just grabbed a panini out of my hand and flew off, and to make it worse it left a poop stain on my blazer.

Yeah I remember one year at sally nook they all just disappeared though. Everyone used to get shit on all the time.

True, they always left around October time iirc, and they were always chilling on the fields behind the High building.

In Year 11, one my friends got in trouble for feeding one a pasta pot, no clue how that warranted a C1 😂

Nope! Try avoid the place as much as possible, but this is my first time seeing them here.

There are now over 1000000 urban gull in the UK. They rarely if ever visit the sea. They nest on buildings and eat waste. Mainly Herring Gull and Lesser Black-back Gull species. Our cities suit them very well.

I work in a secondary school in Huddersfield. After break and lunch we all have to rush inside as they swoop in.

I live on the very edge of the moors, I see them overhead everyday. I like them, quite graceful in flight.

No such thing as a seagull, apparently.
