Saturday shoppers witnessed the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service swing into action in the middle of Newport this afternoon (Saturday) to rescue a herring gull.
Firefighters from nearby Newport Fire Station were called out at around 15:00 when it was discovered that the wild bird had become stuck on the roof of the popular retailer, Next
An aerial ladder platform was utilised to reach the animal, which has since been handed over to the RSPCA.
Upper St James’ Street was cordoned off for a time but has since re-opened.
Surely an air rifle would have done the job!!
lol
Its good to know that the Isle of Wight Rescue Service did not need to call on Hampshire Fire and Rescue for assistance to this Incident >
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush
News Flash: “Bird removed from roof by fire brigade”…
Can I call them out to get the Rooks off my chimney??
