I was walking my dog on a deserted Dorset beach the other week and he picked up a baited hook and some line attached. Luckily I was able to extract it from his mouth before it was swallowed. A glaucous gull was photographed at Portland Bill the other day with fishing line dangling from its bill. It will probably die a slow lingering death.
As a keen angler myself I do not understand why anyone would leave this stuff around, so this is just a plea to anyone out there to take their old hooks and line home with them and not leave them on the shore.
