Found a gull
A grounded chick in summer is usually not an orphan — how to tell, when it does need help, and the provision that makes picking up an injured wild bird lawful.
Gulls
A protected wild bird that no general licence covers any more. What the four nations now require before one can be controlled, what the population assessments behind that actually say, and what to do about a grounded chick in July.
Gull rescues
No organisation in the directory is recorded as naming gulls, so this lists those recorded as taking wild birds or wildlife generally, with capacity and how recently it was confirmed.
Gull law and licensing
Every gull is protected, no gull is on a general licence in any nation, and control needs an individual licence — with what each regulator requires and the conservation assessments behind the change.
Common gull claims
Numbers, vermin status, swooping, health risk and what can lawfully be done — each set against the published evidence, including where urban and national trends genuinely point different ways.
