This is the dramatic moment two gannets had to be rescued - after they became entangled in fishing rope. Phil Harris, 44, and Richard Shucksmith, 45, swooped to rescue the stricken birds after spotting blue fishing gear knotted around their beaks and wings. The wildlife enthusiasts were running a boat tour for visitors around the uninhabited Isle of Noss, Shetland, when they saw the distressed birds. They used a boat hook to haul the seabirds onto the boat where Phil, who has experience as a bird ringer, took hold of the gannets while Richard cut them free.
