Gulls might be seen as a nuisance by some, but experts warn their numbers are drastically declining in Wales.

However, changes to the fishing industry mean we could see a rise in the number of herring and lesser black-backed gulls, some of the most common forms of gulls.

      No, just occasionally they do do something positive. Back when Gove was environment minister we had a few good policy changes, I recall. More recently, Coffey was a mess though.
