Don't know if you have seen these photos by photographer/blogger Bob Sharples of the late visiting Osprey at Hayle Estuary, West Cornwall bobsharplesphotography.blogspot.co.uk
Scroll down to find them - he saw the Osprey two days running.
Thank you, Perranlady - all of his pictures are beautiful!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Oh dear Alan, that doesn't make happy reading. I hope its migration is not impaired by the shotgun damage. Perhaps the person who saw it is trying to keep an eye on it.

How do you identify shotgun damage? Maybe a different problem, unless the shots were seen/heard?

This is what I thought on reading the report Noisette. Did someone witness it I wonder?
