Birds on the ground






Metro, the free paper you can get at the railway station and buses, had an article today of the huge number of calls concerning animals that the Rescue Department and the Association for Nature Conservation get daily.

Often it is about a bird on the ground. It was not easy for them to get a photo of such, so they had one
of the barnacle goose which is very prolific here. Of course their young are never in a nest, they roam around. I laughed at first when I saw the photo. It is not this one, I just happened to take one the other day.

They said if one is seen on the ground, it is not good to take it, the mother might be looking for at as it probably fell while practicing to fly. If it is taken away, the mother cannot find it.
