Releases really are the best part of the job...
This heron came to us from Alexadra Park in Hastings with a fishing hook and attached weight caught to the feathers of one wing. Due to the weight he couldnt fly and got caught up and tangled in some of the branches, where he was spotted struggling.
Luckily the hook was only through his feathers and not the wing its self. He remained in care for 5 days to allow his wing time to recover, as holding the extra weight had made it a little sore.
There was no holding him back, he was definitly ready to go! ...
