MAY DAY MAY DAY MAY DAY !!!
It is an unusual event to see a Short-eared Owl on the water for such a longtime. we had never witnessed anything like this, we waited patiently for him to flyaway but on closer inspection we found that he needed little bit of help from his human friends. his legs were entangled in a fishing net. we rescued, cleaned and gave him some water to drink, before setting him free. A job well done, but the biggest thing we learnt that day was
"Any unusual animal or bird behaviour may also mean that they may need help".
