Supermarket staff have put up barriers and cordoned off eight parking spaces - to protect a seagull.
The gull is sitting on eggs in a nest it built at the base of a tree in the Morrisons parking lot in Liskeard, Cornwall.
The gull is now surrounded by barriers and staff have cordoned off eight car parking spaces to protect it.
The supermarket staff contacted the RSPCA for advice and were told to seal off space for the bird so they would not be disturbed.
All wild birds, their eggs and nests are protected by law in the United Kingdom.
It is an offense to damage or destroy a wild bird’s nest while it is being used or built.
The RSPCA added the gull could scare or hurt customers if distressed.
A spokesperson for Morrisons said staff contacted the RSPCA for advice and were told to cordon off space so the bird would not be disturbed.
