They steal your chips.
They scream at 3 a.m.
People hate gulls.
Scotland thinks differently.
They hired a Gull Ranger.
Based in Eyemouth. It’s real. No joke.
The goal is simple enough—change the narrative. Not with spreadsheets, not with academic papers about migratory patterns, but with presence. Being there.
Gulls get a bad rap because they are bold, and humans forget how to share space.
Wildlife conservation usually implies saving pandas or saving polar bears from melting ice.
This is harder.
This requires convincing the public that the bird diving for your sausage roll is an essential part of the ecosystem.
Scotland wants to fix this reputation.
How do you make people like the animals that dive-bomb their picnics?
The Ranger works on that problem every day.
