Overview

Seagulls are an essential requirement to any British seaside story, and it is surprising to learn that over the past 55 years their population has declined by over 75%, making them one of the fastest declining bird species in the UK. This story takes its name from a line of 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and follows the group one day in summer as they release gulls back to the sea.
