Herring Gull and crossbow

amazingly this Herring Gull had a crossbow bolt right through its head but it seemed to be relatively OK -- I assume it missed the actual skull but the bird is surely destined to meet its end soon -- what a strange culture we have as human beings

Interestingly Clare Gillatt has just sent me this link to an article from the Scarborough newspaper that may suggest this bird has come down the Yorkshire coast? How many Herring Gulls with crossbow bolts in their heads are there likely to be on the East coast
