Rescue

As our wildlife gears up for a new year of offspring, sadly, last year's youngsters start getting, how should we put this… politely asked to leave the premises?

We suspect this youngster had been given his marching orders, after he was found wandering around a residential area, confusing the locals.

Rehabilitation

Whilst there was nothing obvious wrong, we thought he might prefer to ride out Storm Éowyn in the warmth and safety of one our pens (with food on tap, who could blame him), before being relocated to a lake, close to where he was found.

Release

His full ordeal, including his heart warming reunion with, we suspect one of his parents, most likely mum, can be seen in the video below.
