Paignton pelted by confused seagulls

The source of the plastic balls remains a mystery

A woman in Paignton in Devon has been showered with plastic golf balls by passing seagulls.

The birds are apparently mistaking the air-flow balls for mussels, which the gulls drop in the hope of cracking them open to get the food inside.

So far 50 brightly coloured balls have landed on Margaret Bellhouse’s property.

The source of the golf balls remains a mystery.

“I’ve tried to find out where they are from but nobody has any idea,” Bellhouse told the Daily Mail.
