A falcon has come to the rescue of the Skandia Team GBR, the British Sailing Team.

Felix's job has been to scare away seagulls that were becoming a nuisance around the team accommodation block which is based next to the Weymouth and Portland sailing venue for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The early morning squawking from the gulls was disturbing the sleep of many of the team and their fouling was beginning to damage buildings and boats. But as the video shows Felix may now be required to keep an eye on the Team's behaviour ahead of next year's big regattas as well.

 

Best wishes
