AN exhausted puffin is being cared for after turning up on a building site in North East Lincolnshire.
The bird is in the care of Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue after having been checked for breaks and bruises by the Abbey veterinary practice in Grimsby.
Say CWR: "We suspect that a crash-landing took place, but the injuries only extend to minor contusions and exhaustion.
"We have been administering a rehabilitation care plan based on valuable advice from Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary."
According to one report, the puffin may be the same bird seen earlier in a distressed condition on Cleethorpes saltmarsh.
It is not known if it has been tested for avian flu - a condition that has been decimating East Coast seabird colonies all through summer.
The location of the building site has not been revealed.
