A 70-year-old woman was hospitalised after being attacked by a seagull while she walked down the street.
Lesley Wright was heading to a neighbour's house in Moray, in the north-east of Scotland, when the bird swooped down from behind and hit the back of her head, sending her crashing to the ground in a daze.
Ms Wright, who has now been left with a scar and a bald patch as a result of the gull's impact, told how she 'felt an almighty whack' as the nose-diving bird left her dripping in blood.
She said: 'I didn't know it was a seagull at the time, not until I heard it squawking after it had done it.
'Next thing I knew my head was bleeding. It wasn't a big cut, but it was bleeding a lot with it being a head wound.'
