Farmers may take action against black-backed gulls, but there was a heavy penalty for disturbing the strictly protected black and red, billed gulls, said the chairman of the Canterbury branch of the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society (Mr B. A. Calder) yesterday. Mr Calder was commenting on a report in “Th# Press” about the prevalence lof bird-nesting by children.
