They give true sportsmen, who respect nature and the environment a bad name. I suppose sometimes it can't be avoided.. a broken/lost line and unlucky duck. Most times it's just a matter of being careful not to cast out near fowl. I hope your call will result in help for this beauty.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143115362650239550.post-28382083439684907142011-06-14T02:44:18.980+01:002011-06-14T02:44:18.980+01:00...ooohhhhh....it breaks my heart....poor thing....ooohhhhh....it breaks my heart....poor thing.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143115362650239550.post-5296857291656802342011-06-14T00:28:54.055+01:002011-06-14T00:28:54.055+01:00Oh Bob, how very unfortunate for this kind of thin...Oh Bob, how very unfortunate for this kind of thing to have happened.

I saw a Black Headed Gull with a hook around its foot over the winter but we were unable to get close enough to help it. I've also seen an occasional Kittiwake from our local colony get tangled in discarded line.
