Seagulls 'now own village' popular with Mancs after string of terrifying attacks

Villagers living in a seaside hotspot popular with Mancs are are "living in fear" after a string of seagull attacks. The dive-bombing birds "now own the village" after leaving victims needing hospital treatment, according to terrified locals.

The isle of Anglesey - just two hours from Greater Manchester - attracts thousands of visitors from our region every summer. However, the village of Llanfairpwll on the south-eastern part of the island is currently being blighted by seagulls, with residents saying the problem is "worse than it has even been".

Some "aggressive" seagulls have left children scared to go to school, the Daily Post reports. Gareth Parry, who has lived in the village for decades, says the birds have been causing "havoc", with several residents needing medical treatment and even tetanus shots after being attacked.
