Please do share, print and post up this to help protect our Herring Gulls this nesting season.

We would like to see posters displayed in places visitors are most likely to see them like supermarkets, fast food and eating places as well as in the towns and at the beaches.

There are still fluffy nestlings on the roofs as well as feathered fledglings coming down to the ground to learn from their parents who will be nearby watching protecting and feeding them 5 - 10 times in a day.

With increases in Cornwalls population over the sumner, their is an increase risk of disturbance and accidental and intentional injuries to our wildlife. And then we are left to pick up the pieces.

As well as placing nestlings back to their nest, and helping in protecting fledglings by placing them somewhere safe for their parents to still attend them.

We are asking all Gull protectors to print this poster and take to get displayed in as many places as possible to educate residents and visitors and hopefully prevent deliberate attacks on our wildlife.

If you see any cruelty to wildlife please call the police at the time on 999; or to report it after the fact call 101 and ask for the Wildlife Crimes Officer. It can also be reported online. Try to get as much detail and evidence as is safely possible; including photos/video/ car reg etc
