A gull has been released back into the wild after being discovered trapped behind the grille of a car. The herring gull, which was spotted by an eagle-eyed passer-by in a car park in Ashford, Kent, is thought to have been hit by the Mazda 6 and become wedged behind the grille by the force of the impact. RSPCA rescuer Tina Nash, who was called in to free the gull, said the driver likely had no idea it was there. It was subsequently released at Pett Level beach, near Hastings. “It’s rewarding moments like these that make me love my job.”
