Seagulls!

[Z Victor 1]

My soft top was bombed by seagulls last night here at Seaton, Devon. Fortunately I managed to clean it off before it was dried on. Tonight I'm taking defensive action.

I live very close to the sea, the gulls can be an issue. I've cleaned partially digested mackerel off the cars before.

Sometimes they'll nest on my roof and a fair few of the neighbours roofs, when the chicks fledge the spend about 2 weeks on the ground so a lot of years we get them in the garden. The parents can often use their sh*** as a line of defence, It makes it interesting when I'm putting the bins out.

I’ll second Paul H, the gulls are a constant nuisance, we must have the biggest gulls in the UK in Sunderland they are like albatross some of them, they have no fear at all, they will swoop down and happily attack you for a chip.

I live 100yards from the Irish sea but don't have a problem with seagulls my next door neighbour has birds of prey and usually has them on a stand in his garden

Welcome to my world their nesting at the moment so makes things worse!

If you get some on your paintwork get it off ASAP it “will“ etch your paint, I carry wet wipes and Meguires quick detailer in the boot.

Had friends used to live in Beer spent many a happy hour in the pubs including one very notorious regatta

I have had the same problem, I find these very good at reducing it.

You're right @Synclare, Beer is a lovely place, but try finding a hotel with seaview and private parking right on the beach. We get that at Seaton and it provides a great base to visit nicer places in the area.
