Seagull Action - Aberavon Beach
Seagull action, Aberavon Beach (Swansea Bay and Mumbles in background):
I find it increasing sad how our attitude toward bird life in Swansea is becoming increasingly negative. Take just these two local newspaper reports as an example - 'I got smashed in the face by a seagull' and 'Ultra seagulls are mugging people and trying to break into cars in Swansea'.

The plant, also known as Jimson Weed or Devil's Snare is a highly poisonous psychoactive plant. I have reported its presence to Swansea Council...
