That work has included commissioning a report on managing urban gulls from the British Trust for Ornithology, which is available on the Scottish Government website; setting up a taskforce to examine innovative solutions in the Dumfries area, including the use of falcons to displace nesting gulls, which is covered in “Use of Falcons to Displace Nesting Gulls from an Urban Area: Final Report”, which is also available on the Scottish Government website; and providing direct advice on gull management through Scottish Natural Heritage, as was done with Highland Council in 2012.
