This morning while driving to work through a village i saw a young seagull that had been hit by a car in the middle of the road. I thought it was dead until i drove near to it and it twitched its body. It was completely stunned and unable to move and loads of gulls and crows were flying overhead making a racket over it. I stopped the car and jumped out and spent a frantic few minutes watching while a bus! and a white van drive right over it! :shock: Why do folk not try to miss these poor creatures? It was a quiet road with loads of room to avoid the poor wee thing. I was feet away covering my eyes waiting for it to be squashed. I managed to pick it up and get it back to my car. A wee boy was watching from his window and shouted at me "is it ok?" I said i dont think so! But i will take it to a vet dont worry!
I got it back to my office and kept it warm and quiet and called the sspca to come pick it up. Within hours it was like having a box with a ferret in it at my feet! Well did it not make me look a fool flapping and jumping around while the inspector checked it out - no broken bones at all! One lucky little bird! One bus later it would have been squashed!
Its spending a night in the wildlife hospital and will be released tomorrow if its doing well.
So it came from a little industrial village living on chips and it will be released into the Fife seashore as soon as its better. Landed on its little webbed feet!
