Is it against the law to shoot seagull in UK?

In the United Kingdom, it is generally illegal to kill or injure any wild bird, including seagulls, unless you have a valid reason for doing so. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, you may be able to shoot seagulls if they are causing damage to your property or if they are a threat to human health or safety.

If you are considering shooting seagulls, it is important to first check with the local wildlife authority to make sure that you have a valid reason for doing so. You may also need to obtain a license or permit before you can legally shoot seagulls.

The penalties for shooting seagulls illegally can be severe. You could be fined or even imprisoned. In addition, you could be required to pay compensation for any damage that you cause to the bird or its habitat.

For these reasons, it is important to only shoot seagulls if you are sure that you have a valid reason for doing so. If you are not sure whether or not you can legally shoot a seagull, it is best to err on the side of caution and not shoot it.
