Heartbroken image of gulls were pierced by arrows
The gull was wounded but still able to fly, making it difficult for Scottish experts to catch it for treatment.
Scottish experts tried to catch seagulls for treatment but were in trouble because it was injured but still tried to fly.
Photographer Lesley Morrison photographed injured gulls in Cooper Park, Elgin, Scotland, on September 17. She thought it was a normal bird until it turned around and revealed an arrow.

"I always carry my camera just in case. In the beginning, the gull was still walking around and pecking food. After that I saw an arrow plugged into the animal's head , " she recounted. The gull flew away right after she took the picture. Apart from the wound, it looks healthy, Morrison said.
Experts believe that the arrow may have been fired from a crossbow. Aimee Findlay, an employee at the Scottish Association Against Animal Abuse (SPCA) called on people to provide information about the incident.
"We received a notice about a gull that was pierced through the head by an arrow in Elgin. The bird is still flying so we have not been able to catch it. We are very concerned about the health of the gull and hope to have it. The treatment can be treated as early as possible, avoiding the infected wound, getting worse and it should be in pain , " Findlay said.
In July, SPCA also investigated a case of gulls pierced through the body by an arrow in Ross-shire."This issue is very disturbing. We want to make it clear that gulls, like all birds, are legally protected. Deliberately injuring or killing them is a crime , " Findlay added. .
