My wife found this poor bird on the beach whilst out walking.
The thing around its neck looks like a plastic washer for a pipe.
It’s a real shame that such a nice sea bird, or any bird for that matter, should die because someone could not be bothered to throw their garbage into a refuse bin.
People: take your garbage with you or put it in the bins. Don’t let this happen to our wildlife.
