Re: The same for Cormorants?

My pride and joy is currently getting covered in Blackberry s--- from Starlings and Seagulls as well as Fish s--- from the the bloody Cormorants.
Have seen the Carbide sandwich trick of Luthers done in Africa, but a less drastic option is Mustard covered bread - they seem to lose interest and leave your area.

They must be able to. Nottm City Council spent a few quid on a piece of installation art in the form of a giant convex mirror (very nice too), which sits outside of the Playhouse, think it was by Anish Kapoor. Anyway some bright chap realized that on the summer solstice this thing would bounce a concentrated beam of light back into the ether (James Bond style), with sufficient intensity to roast any passing pigeons or displaced seagulls. Despite a serious pigeon problem in the city centre they spent a few bob more on a sun screen to prevent what would have been quiet a spectacle, and would probably have cornered the druid solstice destinations market.

If you use magnesium they'll turn into miniture comets.. fast moving fireballs > [wicked grin]

This method has a downside.. the Bush/Blair anti proliferation convention may lead to you being "taken out"

An old friend of mine ....

He swore that best was a piece of bacon-rind on a length of strong fishing line.

Leave rind on deck ..... gull swoops and swallows ....

Then you have the old Monty Python call of " Stormy Petrel on a stick?" ......

His version was then to take struggling gull to a place awy from boats and tie of the line. Soon or later the gull will 'throw' the rind and not come back for more !!!!

Load of b.......t - I think but he reckoned it worked !!!

Re: An old friend of mine ....

They used to do this sort of thing on helidecks of rigs offshore. I have seen 3 & 4 frantic gulls tying themselves in knots at the same time.

Why not just stick a storm jib up the backstay? If they've any pride they will be too embarrassed to have anything to do with the boat!

Re: This response

Claymore,
You are thinking of Gun Cotton , used by the Pompey Matelos on a fishing line. Not allowed under todays Naval Rules of engagement, but yes it did give a good "bang" of guts and feathers. (Not that I was ever involved of course, but my "friend " told me of this diabolical passtime.)
