Title: Holidaymaker has his eye pecked out by terrified seabird he was trying to save Post by: Donna on 13-Jul-11, 06:31:47 AM http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2013822/Beach-horror-holidaymaker-eye-pecked-seabird-trying-save.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2013822/Beach-horror-holidaymaker-eye-pecked-seabird-trying-save.html) (UK) full story
When Michael Buckland tried to rescue an injured gannet after he spotted it struggling for life, he did not think he was putting himself in any danger. But the terrified bird responded by pecking at his face – before puncturing his right eyeball at least three times with its razor-sharp six-inch beak. Mr Buckland, 38, had his left eyelid sliced in two in the frenzied attack during a caravanning holiday in Wales. :o Title: Re: Holidaymaker has his eye pecked out by terrified seabird he was trying to save Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 13-Jul-11, 07:12:27 AM Saw that - you do not mess with a gannet! Poor chap, trying to help... always cover the head!
