Birdwatch Ireland says seagulls were driven inland after fishing rights were given away in the seventies, forcing them to feed on raw food in our country's dumps.
John Murphy believes that folowing the closure of many dumps around the country, seagulls are now moving towards farmland but he says media reports on their aggression have been blown out of proportion.
