Man rescues seagull ‘impaled’ on a Dublin city centre lamppost

Seagulls generally get a bad press being regarded as a noisy bird with a piercing shriek, and an aggressive pilferer of chips, ice cream and sandwiches.

Yet a stricken seagull elicited a lot of public sympathy when the bird became impaled on a lamppost in central Dublin. Photographer Tom Honan was quickly on the scene. “The seagull was impaled on the metal grate on the top of the lamp and the side of his wing had become caught it,” he said.“He was fluttering around for a while and making a lot of noise. There was about four or five people hanging around, but they couldn’t get a ladder.”
