Patrols
have been introduced at a Gwynedd school to tackle unwelcome visitors
who made pupils’ lives a misery.
Over
the next few months, a falcon and a hawk will visit Ysgol Eifion Wyn and the
nearby Glaslyn leisure centre in
Porthmadog to drive away
seagulls, after they caused a nuisance last year .
The
gulls were nesting on the leisure centre roof and, as some chicks had fallen
onto the school yard, the adult birds were swooping on people and
worrying children, staff and parents.
Today,
John Evans of Anglesey Hawking was at the school with his birds of prey to keep
the seagulls at bay.
Cllr
Dafydd Meurig, portfolio holder for the environment, said: “Gulls are an
everyday sight around the Gwynedd coast and can cause real concern to
residents.
