Not A Good Start... Our first intake of 2015 is this female sparrow hawk who was found collapsed in a back garden in Stanton, Burton On Trent. She is currently is critical condition after suffering from what appears to be an air rifle pellet wound to her abdomen. She also has an injury to one of her wings. She is currently on a heat pad and has received pain relief and antibiotics. The wounds have been cleaned up and we are planning on getting her radiographed once she is in a more stable condition. Birds of prey are often cruelly targeted by a small minority of people who dont seem to like them killing garden birds and game, which is a natural behaviour in order to obtain food. If you are aware of someone shooting birds in a residential area or shooting protected birds such as birds of prey, we advise you to contact the police on 101 and ask to speak to a wildlife officer.
