A SEAGULL NAMED Jonathan is apparently terrorising the people of Waterford.

WLRFM’s Big Breakfast Blaa reports that the seagull, who is named Jonathan, sits on a lamppost on the Dunmore Road at the hospital roundabout at Collins Avenue.

From his perch, he dive bombs at joggers and is heard “laughing”, the station says.

“Waterford has been put on ‘high seagull alert’ following numerous reports of swooping and dive-bombing by a lone seagull.

“Jonathan has swooped down at joggers and some reports say he appears to ‘laugh’ afterwards. It is advised that you don’t eat any food, such as ice-cream or a sandwich, while walking in this area.”

The station is asking people to be “seagull aware” and to listen in for updates, but it Jonathan is already causing terror.
