Cycling along this evening i saw a car pulled up with the driver in the cycle lane holding something. As i got closer i saw it was a gull or a seagull or whatever they're called. He told me that it'd kind of hit his car after swooping down to pick at some chips in the road. The poor thing was just sat there in his hands. He said he was going to try and find a vet that'd take it in. He put in in a box with a blanket he had in his car. There's not much chance of finding a vet on a Sunday i said to him. To be fair he phoned one or two but all said they wouldn't take it and if they did they'd put it to sleep. Anway, by the time he'd finished making calls the poor thing had died. We decided the best thing to do with it would be to leave it in some grass next to the pavement,thinking that at least it might make a meal tonight for a hungry fox. I told him he did a decent thing in stopping to help it,rather than just driving off as most would probably do. Well done to that driver 
and the thumbs down to the slob who threw chips out their car,which caused the bird to be hit in the first place!
