Where have all the seagulls gone?

As I participate in street photography, I’ve noticed fewer seagulls around.

Is it that they have migrated, or perhaps?

Is there not as much litter or food lying around because it’s winter?

My current thinking is due to the hard work of our councils and councillors, we now have larger, more seagull-proof bins, which seem to be discouraging these visiting animals.

This summer will be interesting to see if we have enough of these bins.

What do you think?
