Wetherspoon to use birds of prey to tackle seagull problem

They've been dive-bombing customers at The Imperial in Exeter

Pub-chain Wetherspoon says it's going to use birds of prey to deal with problem seagulls. 

The pub chain has confirmed the birds have been causing disruption for customers in the beer garden. 

In a statement they said: "Unfortunately, due to the size of the gardens, netting would be an impractical solution, because of the wide open space.

"Other options have been researched and a natural bird deterrent option has been agreed.

"Management at the pub have just gained approval for a Bird of Prey bird deterrent programme, to be carried out in the garden, as soon as possible."
