This cheeky little one was found by one of our amazing volunteers as he was going down the escalator at Paddington station. Sadly is too young and the parents couldn't be found so he will be going to one of our rehabbers as at this age baby gulls cannot fly #babybirds

Asked someone to wait 10 minutes and we will collect a bird from them. They said “I have a life” and proceeded to dump the bird. Sadly this bird no longer lives. I wouldn’t normally post these instances as it happens a lot but this one broke me & the team tonight 💔.
