| The stricken bird - immobile on the sand and starting to attract the attention of passing dogs |
PLAUDITS to the Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue team for going to the aid of an exhausted seabird - thought to be a juvenile Red-throated Diver - on the Humberston Fitties beach at lunchtime today.
A volunteer checked that it was not suffering from bird flu, then scooped it up in a net and gave its eyes and wings a quick check.
It was then taken away for tests, further feeding and recuperation pending its proposed release back into its natural home - the wide open seas - in time for Christmas.
 |
| All on its lonesome - the bird awaits its fate, good or bad |
 |
| Carefully does it - a Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue volunteer come to the bird's aid |
 |
| Happily, the wings seem to be OK - but the bird is taken away for further checks (and something to eat) |
