Seagulls of Brighton beach steal lunch from unsuspecting visitors

Necessity is the mother of invention and the same can be said of seagulls that frequent Brighton beach, the birds have become crafty and have dreamt up their own cunning strategy to steal the lunches of unsuspecting visitors to the beach.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 27 July 2015.

The birds have begun to gang up and target women who are carrying food along the seaside – one of the birds peck the girl to make her drop her food, and the other birds hover nearby to swoop down for the feast. Obviously, the seagulls have become smarter and more brazen than ever before.
They go after the girls because they are easily frightened and run for cover once attacked. The population of the seagulls have gone up considerably within the last 15 years ago and new colonies are springing up further from the coast.
Prime Minister David Cameron has expressed concern over the dangerous and brazen actions of seagulls and has urged for a 'big conversation' on aggressive seagulls.
