The seagull debate: to cull or conserve?

Laura Miller speaks to Rebecca Tierney about her trip to meet Scotland's first gull ranger and hears from a seabird ecologist about how humans and gulls can live in harmony.

Scotland’s first gull ranger has been hired in Eyemouth to improve relations between humans and the birds.

Laura Miller is joined by Scotcast’s Rebecca Tierney to hear about her trip to the seaside town, and gull expert Dr Viola Ross-Smith tells Laura why she thinks seagulls are part of the culture wars.
