This happened a year ago and it's only just got to court? He should have been given a community award instead of a curfew.
 
I've seen many a herring gull eating pigeons in town. Saw one swallow a rat hole n'arl. But the most impressive thing was seeing one carrying a whole gregg's pasty, still in the bag, flying away and sagging in the air under the weight of it.
 
Don’t know how true this is ,but many years ago a merchant seaman told me he used to wrap bread around raw carbide, chuck it up in the air the gull/ shitehawk swallowed it and when it got to its stomach it started to burn so it dived down had a drink of water, just as it was taking off the water hit the carbide and the whole thing exploded. Could be a one for myth busters to have a go at.

It's a myth, unfortunately.

Hope the heartburn crippled it for days.
