The animal welfare charity is looking at reports that a great black-backed gull was repeatedly run over in the car park of McDonald's in Harwich, Essex.The bird had been nursed back to health at the Wildlives Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre near Colchester having been found injured.

Rosie Catford, from the centre, said: "He became special to us so we were in unbelievable shock and couldn’t believe what we were hearing."and is considered a species of conservation concern. It is illegal to intentionally kill them.This particular seagull, affectionately named Albert Tross by the rescue centre due its large size, was released back into the wild in October and could have lived for a further 20 years.

The bird had been found starving, unable to stand, and very dehydrated before Ms Catford and her team tube-fed him and gradually nursed him back to good health.Shortly after its return to the wild it found its way into the car park of a McDonald’s where a customer killed it before driving off "laughing", according to witnesses.

“It doesn’t matter if it is an endangered species or just an animal, for someone to deliberately do something like this is unspeakable,” added Ms Catford, whose rescue charity is based at Thorrington.

“The gull, I believe, was disembowelled and found in a very bad way, but I don’t believe the death was instantaneous."So many people here are traumatised by what has happened," Ms Woodall said.

"Today has been absolutely poignant."She added: "It is important for us to be here to represent all of those faces on the wall and to be among like-minded people, some of whom are very angry and upset."

Well-wishers at the National Memorial Arboretum in Burton-on-Trent heard a new poem from the writer, poet, broadcaster and former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen, who spent time in hospital with Covid during the pandemic and"A shadow passed over us and hundreds of thousands of people felt the sudden and unexpected loss of loved ones," he said.
