First major release of the year!
April 10, 2022
This was the first large-scale release of the year; all birds nursed back to full health over the winter, and being released at Three Owls Wood just in time for this years' breeding season.
Alas for photographic purposes, the first 66 birds all whizzed off before I was able to take a photo! However number 67; the Red Legged Partridge was happy to pose for the camera whilst calling out to our resident flock - which he strutted off to join up with.
Many thanks to both Meltham Wildlife Rescue and Hebden Bridge Bird Rescue for their care and attention over winter to these casualties.
