Seagull lays eggs on roof of car

A confused seagull gave a new meaning to the word "hatchback" when it nested on the roof of a car at Inverness Airport's long-stay car park.

The bird was incubating eggs on a bundle of twigs and other debris it had formed on top of the Citroen Berlingo.

Specialists were brought in to destroy the nest and the eggs to "minimize the risk of bird strikes".

RSPB Scotland said laws stopping people from disturbing nests were not equipped to deal with that kind of situation.
