Injured seagull in safe hands after help from Burnham-On-Sea lifeguards

An injured seagull found limping along Burnham-On-Sea's beach is in safe hands after being helped by the town's lifeguards on Tuesday (August 28th).

The young herring gull was spotted on the sands with a broken wing - and lifeguards Kate Trunks, Tom Jacobs and Barney Jacobs couldn't turn a blind eye.

Jetty Manager David Whitehead explained: "The bird kept wandering along the sand and could not fly off."

"We realised there was something wrong with its left wing, so we captured it and have now passed it on to Secret World wildlife centre for them to help it."
