Just after 10.30am (Friday 11) Fire Control received a call from an animal rescue centre about an injured seagull stuck in the guttering on the top of a three storey building on Towns Lane in Loddiswell

Crews from Kingsbridge attended to rescue the bird using a 13.5m ladder.

The bird had caught its’ leg in a gutter three stories up, causing an injury.

The seagull was handed over to a rescue centre.

Gulls are members of a large, widespread family of seabirds.

Often known as seagulls (though no species is actually called a seagull, and many are found far from the sea), they sometimes get a bad reputation for stealing food.

But gulls are intelligent, adaptable and often beautiful birds.
