DUNDEE posties have been forced off their rounds after being swooped on repeatedly by gulls.

Several Royal Mail workers in Douglas have been temporarily removed from their routes because of the birds bombing towards them while they were making deliveries.

While the aggressive animals, thought to be protecting their chicks, haven’t injured any employees, Royal Mail confirmed that some posties were temporarily replaced with other members of staff.
