I got attacked by a seagull!

Yes, I got attacked by a seagull today! Last night some people were saying that the seagulls were so aggressive in England. I didn´t pay too much attention because I kept thinking that they mentioned a few seagulls and not so many in Brighton. I also thought that it wasn´t a big deal as I have never seen it happen in Norway. But I was wrong!

A random seagull (a lot smaller than the one who attacked me).

Today I went for my induction lectures. I didn´t have time for breakfast, so I decided to eat between the lectures while we were going to an other building. In this group of about 350 students, the seagull chose me (probably because I had food, but still...) to attack from behind. He flew over my head, touched my hair, and tried to grab my food. I practically held him! He was able to get a part of my sandwich, and some fell to the ground. I saved the rest for later because I didn´t want to eat outside anymore. So watch out for seagulls and don´t underestimate them! They are used to being around people, and are not scared of them.
