With the recent stormy weather, many people have been reporting birds in unexpected places.
Last week we received a call from our local vets, asking if we had space for a Kestrel. This bird had been found in one of the metal cages that milk cartons are transported in, round the back of a local Tesco store.
It was taken to the vets, who couldn’t find any obvious injuries, but with Storm Arwen due, it was decided to keep the Kestrel in for a few days to improve it’s chances of surviving.
Now that the weather has settled a bit, we hope to release this Kestrel later this week in a more natural habitat, where there will be plenty of prey for it to hunt and areas to shelter from any future storms.
