The Malta Ranger Unit, responsible for reporting and documenting environmental crimes, rescued a 15-year-old injured gull near Ta’ Fra Ben beach in Qawra.

A member of the public raised the alarm to a nearby Ranger, who kept the gull safe until the Environmental Protection Unit (EPU) Police could come onto the scene.

The bird had evident injuries and will be undergoing an x-ray to determine the cause of injury and possibility of cure.

Hoping for the gull’s speedy recovery!
