Gull Drowns In The North Sea Aberdeen Harbour Scotland 29/5/17

Down at the harbour , capturing the ships arriving and leaving , this poor creature floated past, distressed and weary from trying to free itself from a plastic carrier bag that had trapped one of its legs.

 

It came to my attention as it passed along the North Pier that is only accessible by boat, I could only watch as it slowly drifted out to sea while struggling to free itself, its fate inevitable as it tired gradually in its struggle .

 

I recorded this small snippet of the scenario and post in the hope anyone viewing will think twice when disposing of litter items that should be put in a bin, and not discarded in a manner that can create this situation for a defenceless animal .
