Yesterday I got a phone call from Moray coast vets , asking if I had room for a couple of seagulls recovering from road accidents. Amazingly a young gull was clipped by a car at the St Ninian road roundabout, and then walked straight to the nearby vet surgery door! Twenty minutes later another adult was hit by a car nearby and both were checked by Claire the local vet. The adult has lost it's balance and keeps falling over, the young one has an injured right leg and is hopping around, however there appears to be no broken bones. Today the adult seems to have improved and not so readily falling over, hopefully it's sense of balance will return completely in a day or two and I can let it go. The young one is too immature to let go yet, and would almost certainly crash land on one leg.
