Sadly the juvenile Iceland Gull that has been visiting Shawell recently has broken one of its wings and is unable to fly. The break looks very serious, so its chances don't look good. I tried to approach it but it took to the water and paddled off. Such a shame, but I guess that's life. I have no idea how it happened, but it must have happened at the lagoons, as there is no way it can fly.
