Injured gannet rescued from beach

A lifeless gannet was spotted on the beach in front of the Outdoor Centre last week. Calls to the SSPCA resulted in a vet from Bute & Cowal vets in Dunoon arriving to collect the injured bird, assisted by local resident John Misden. The following day the bird was collected by the SSPCA from Dunoon and taken to its National Wildlife Rescue Centre near Alloa, Fife. An SSPCA spokesperson informed us this week that, on examination, it was found that the gannet had sustained a broken neck and sadly had to be euthanised.
