We made a new friend this week, a Herring Gull Chick we called Basil. He was found by Mrs KD out on the road. Normally we would be advised to leave these chicks alone as their parents are very protective of them. However, poor Basil had fallen from his nest and was in quite a bit of shock, with an injured wing. We felt the right thing to do was to scoop him up and care for him until we could find a way to get him the help he needed. Thankfully a local vets took him in and plan to get him home soon!
