Dramatic rescue of seagull stuck inside Bedminster Asda for 16 days

A seagull which wandered into an Asda store in early June and then couldn’t find the way out has been rescued by volunteers from a bird welfare charity. It was grabbed by one rescuer in the clothes section of the store in Bedminster, Bristol in the early hours of this morning, Friday, June 23, and is now being nursed back to health at a local vets.

The young gull became disorientated once inside the store in Bedminster, Bristol - the doors are not visible from the main store - and survived, just about, by stealing food and avoiding capture for more than a fortnight, despite the best efforts of Asda staff and contractors brought in to try to coax it down.
