Young hobby fallen from its nest

Rescue - 8th August, 2022

Rescue

In more than 40 years of operation, we have treated almost every UK species here at Wildlife Aid. Whilst some are a reasonably common sight, others, like this young hobby, are a little rarer!

Still covered in downy feathers, it is not quite ready for a life in the wild and has been growing up under our care for the past few weeks. Hopefully, it won't be long before this stunning bird is sporting full flight plumage and can take the skies at last! With only 2,800 breeding pairs in the UK, these poor birds need all the help we can give them.

We need your help

Any help you give can make a huge difference and keep us saving wildlife.

When you adopt an animal you help towards the costs of looking after all the animals of your chosen species here at the hospital.
