Thank you Sandra. We have one last Magpie in care from this season. Due to be released soon.
She was a tiny nestling blown from her nest. She's called Scruffy. Named by the little boy who found her on the path on his way home from school. He carefully placed her in his school bag and carried her home. His mother said it was best to pass him on to a Wildlife carer because there was no one to care for her during the day. The little boy visited her daily, for a week, to make sure she was alright. Then Scruffy came to us and he and his mother came out here to see her new home. I showed them around and they went home happy that Scruffy was safe well.
Isn't that a lovely story.
Cheers, Joy
