Yet another new arrival…
Tuesday brought an early morning call from Hazel in Halstead to say her son, Joshua, and daughter, Kiara, had been driving through Stisted late on Monday evening when they found a Tawny Owl sitting in the middle of the road. They stopped and picked it up and brought it home to Hazel who put it somewhere quiet and warm overnight. She and Kiera very kindly brought the Tawny to me after the school run. Checked Stisted over and, although he seemed to be suffering from concussion, I could find no specific injuries. When feeding him later, I noticed swelling in the left eye so it does look as if he was clipped by a car. Luckily no other injuries have developed and I am treating the eye and giving him pain relief. Will keep a careful watch over him but he is eating well albeit with five star silver service! Will keep you posted on developments…
