This little man came to us late one Sunday evening from Animal Accident Recue Unit (www.aaru.org.uk).
He was not in a good way, he could not even stand and had his legs straight outwards. After recuperating he was released earlier tonight. After flying around, he did 5 circuits before finding his bearings, he then disappeared from sight on his way back home.
