City invaded by 3,000 seagulls – despite being 30 miles from the sea

A town has been overrun by an ‘apocalyptic’ swarm of up to 3,000 seagulls, despite being 30 miles from the nearest coast. The scavenging winged terrors have converged on a landfill site in Hyndburn, Lancs., with locals comparing the scenes to those in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror film The Birds. Shocking video footage shows the sheer numbers of seagulls swooping overhead, while local homes, cars and gardens are now being bombarded with bird droppings. Fed-up residents say they are arriving early in the morning and staying until late at night – with some even fearing their presence is driving down property values ​​in the area. Gary Hough, 62, said: “There must have been 3,000 seagulls above my house on Wednesday this week. I’ve never seen anything like it.
