Swan Released

ByJon
A few moths ago we took in a signet who had been brought to us by Guardian Angels Bird Sanctuary​. The signet had unfortunately got into trouble, she had gone over a weir and got separated from her family, sustaining a leg injury in the process.

Thankfully after weeks of treatment and convalescence, she’s made a full recovery and we have now released her.

Here you can see her as she was being released, she made friends straight away with another swan, so great to see a happy ending.

    ByJon

    We admitted this beautiful Jackdaw some weeks ago, he arrived with a broken wing.

The break was complicated, the only way to repair it was for an operation, fortunate for this…
