Riding home this afternoon, alongside a busy road I spotted two Canadian geese and a flock of chicks in distress - they were trapped between the road and a wire fence. Thing is, I know the area well and there is no lake for miles around. I can only assume they had recently hatched somewhere away from water.



Anyway, I stopped and tried phoning the police and the RSPCA - neither wanted to know and both referred me to the other!

I couldn't just leave them so I walked along the fence until I found a hole which I stamped down to make bigger. I then shepherded the hissing mum and dad through it and then caught the young 'uns, all five of them, and chucked them through as well. Had to give them a good chuck to clear nettles and tall grass etc. They were last seen heading in the direction of a lake a couple of miles away. I hope they made it.

Well done, I'd have done the same!

A couple of months ago I was travelling to work, on a black ice morning, no gritters, I saw a lump on the opposite side of the road, as a Freelander approached the lump, I realised as did the driver it was a small tawny owl, luckily it didn't flinch, I stopped after sliding @ 80 yards, ( as did the freelander driver) walked back and chased it into the trees, uninjured!!

I got a photo of it in the tree, lucky bird

Very well done! I would have done the same.

looks like the RSPCA maybe be returning to their brief, and dropping the political nonsense.

Can't believe the police and rspca had nothing better to do than recue geese, oh they did... the police caught robbers and the RSPCA were too busy selling off wildlife reserves bequeathed to them for millions  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
