SURE, YOU MAY have had to spend half an hour scraping the frost from your windscreen this morning…
But spare a thought for the herring gull population of Dublin — the poor creatures had to smash holes in the ice on the Royal Canal just to get to their breakfast.
Alex Brennan Kearns snapped the above pic just outside Dublin’s Dockland’s station, near the IFSC, just before 8.30am.
We’re not sure whether the determined birds have managed to land their frozen catch as yet. But if past behaviour is anything to go by, expect to see them lurking outside a nearby Spar later instead— possibly attempting to dispossess young children of their lollipops.
