A SEAGULL attacked a swimmer in Fenit last week and drew blood from his hand.
According to a report on the RTE news website, the man who was visiting the area required tetanus shots after the attack which took place last Tuesday afternoon, around 70m off the coast.
The swimmer was attacked twice by the great black-backed gull before he beat it away.
He attended the emergency department at Kerry General Hospital and received tetanus shots.
The attack comes after reports of aggressive behaviour by seagulls in Kerry.
Earlier this year, two mountain ewes near Lispole were reportedly killed and there was an attack on a motorcyclist in south Kerry.
