Seagulls are known for terrorising towns but the Scouse ones are something else.
The "ripped ASBO" beasts of Liverpool have earned themselves the most aggressive nicknames from "flying gangsters" to "XL Gullies." Earlier this year, the Daily Star reported how a jacked-up gargantuan “top level boss" gull has been wreaking havoc in the city centre where there appears to be an uprising in flying fiends nabbing people's pasties.
And it's not just during the day that the beady-eyed birds are at large. Be careful after a few pints or they could rob you of your Maccies.
Liverpool photographer Sean Dagnall captured the birds in action after a birthday night out on the tiles. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, the 38-year-old said: "I'd been on a night out in town for my birthday and always take my camera out.
"I like taking pictures of the local wildlife and the seagulls just fascinated me. It was a quiet night in town but the seagulls were out rooting through bins at 5am, swiping all the leftovers and hanging around outside Maccies.
"They take great pictures and I love the fact that they don't respect us as being top of the food chain. If they want your sandwich, they are getting your sandwich."
Calm down, calm down!
Sean shared his amazing images on his @ichbingen account on Instagram and said he's had a massive response.

One replied: "In the last few weeks I’ve seen them eat a pigeon and a hedgehog! And I suspect they were responsible for the half rat I saw on Brodie Ave as well."

Another added: "Ross Kemp needs to come back for another episode of Ross Kemp on Gangs, this time about the gulls."

While one said: "I honestly just don’t understand why our seagulls are so crazy, like if you go anywhere else they’re chill but they literally run Liverpool."

One said: "Plenty of towns have bad gull problems but Aberdeen is a whole other level of psychotic b**tard birds."

While one concluded: "I think we can all agree that seagulls are c***s."
