SPARROW HARK RESCUE



Wile working in the garden today i came across this sparrow hark sat on the floor as i got closer it did not fly off which i thought was strange. i got with in about 6ft of it before it ran off i realised then that it had broken one of it's wings so i went back to the shed to got a fishing net. i went back to where he was as i went to put the net over him he decided that he would like to have a swim in the lake and as you know birds don't swim. luckily i had the net to hand and quickly scoped him up we took placed him in a box. we took him to the local wildlife hospital where he is now being looked after. all being well he will be able to come back and be released in a couple of weeks.

Wow - that must have been a bit exciting. I hope the sparrowhawk makes a full recovery.
