Water Lane Casualty




Latest casualty brought to the Trust for attention, thanks to a local resident of Water Lane. One of the Town centre  pigeons, not everyone's favourite bird but I like them. It appears this one has had a collision damaging it's left side and wing. More worryingly it also has a serious digestive disorder which needs antibiotics, currently being administered.



 The probable fracture is at the wing joint, vital for flight and usually the most difficult to heal correctly. It will take a couple of weeks treatment and TLC, to see if it can be saved... fingers crossed.
