I first saw this Gannet three days ago - it had been oiled by a Fulmar and could no longer fly (Fulmars projectile-vomit and oily and stinky liquid on to anything that gets close enough to threaten them - including our dog, lol) I telephoned the SSPCA when I saw the Gannet again yesterday right below our house. The lass that came had only been in the job for a week and was a bit nervous, so I donned safety goggles and got between the Gannet and the sea - he or she was none too pleased and gave me a few nips before I got my hands around the beak and was able to get the bird in to a box. Hopefully they will get it cleaned up and released soon.
