A local performer has spoken up about the misunderstood nature of seagulls after winning the Weston-Super-Mare Championship for their spot-on seagull impersonation. The impersonator expressed pride in the years of practice that led to their recent victory, saying, “I’ve been doing the impression for a long time now. I’ve finally got the recognition.” This win not only celebrates their talent but also shines a light on seagulls, creatures often seen as nuisances, offering a fresh perspective on these coastal birds. The competition draws attention to unique performance skills, and this year has highlighted an unusual yet entertaining tribute to seagulls through mimicry.
