The unlikely stars of Landfill are gulls, not seagulls. Over the past century, gulls have been brought ashore by modernity, living in our slipstream, following trawlers, ploughs, and now rubbish trucks. They are more our contemporaries than other birds, living their wild lives in towns and cities, grabbing a bite wherever they can. Our story is theirs too. In Landfill, Tim Dee follows gulls to rubbish dumps, meets gull-watchers, discovers ancient poets, Victorian novelists, and learns how gulls continue to tell us how the wild can share our world if we'd only listen.
