Another day on the docks and another seagull rescue. A big Blackback gull was hanging around and it was soon discovered it had a treble fish hook caught in the corner of it's mouth. Gloucester Seafood Display Auction dock worker John Burnham sprang into action and using the temptation of a fresh mackerel, captured the wounded gull. Surgery followed,a successful one at that, and the gull was off with a fresh fish as a reward for being a good patient!
Captured!

"Gimpy" is a gull that was nursed by the dock workers when it was a chick. It had fallen off the roof on to the dock and injured it's leg. Other than a limp, "Gimpy" is doing just fine.

I know what a pain the gulls can be down there so it's nice to see the guys showing some compassion towards them. Poor guy. Hope he got the fish in the end!
He got the fish and gulped it down in no time flat, and didn't appear any worse for wear.
