Contestants from across Europe gathered in De Panne on Sunday for the annual European seagull screeching championship, with more than 70 participants competing to mimic the bird’s distinctive call.⁣
⁣
The sixth edition of the event featured entrants from 15 countries, with competitors of all ages — many in seagull-themed costumes — performing inside a local pub to cheers from the crowd.⁣
⁣
The contest aims at changing the image of seagulls, which are often seen negatively by the public.⁣
