Beautiful Kate never made it through the night, she was so very thin, under her lovely feathers she was just bone
Poor thing was starving , she must not have eaten anything substantial for days or even weeks, she passed away warm and safe and now buried in the rose garden with karly, another sad day😢

Kate came in this afternoon just as tawny Linda was collected for release at dalton on tees
Kate was picked up off the road at Marton come grafton, she’s not well at all, she’s had a tiny amount of mouse and some pain relief
She’s on the heat pad in the house
I hope Toby is happy outside now as Kate has his bed
Come on Kate beautiful girl , find your spirit and fight for your life xx

Thankyou to Sue and girls for collecting TawnySue , her wings are good her eyes are bright and she’s very feisty, shes fit to be released back in the wild.
Fly free and happy TawnySue

Spent a lovely hour at the late open night at the Elm gallery in Topcliffe, what an amazing Pandora’s box of wonderful things to choose from, made to feel special with lovely drinks and nibbles, Liz and Dave made us so welcome
Bought some wonderful Christmas gifts for family and friends, very stress free shopping for that special gift for a special person
Oh but how to part with them, all so lovely I want to keep them,
Ha ha maybe I’ll go back for some more
Thanks Liz and Dave

Toby is back in the house, I was concerned he had not eaten , he was sat on the floor of the aviary
Not looking happy at all
After a week he should be feisty and fighting to be out , but he just calmly sits, no fuss .

Update on Toby
Toby has been in the house nearly a week , being beak fed as unresponsive to eating, I think Toby is an old bird, not been hunting and eating well , he was picked up off the road last week and we think was trying to eat from a dove that was road kill
Yesterday I put him in the rehab aviary with 5 more, he sat on the floor all day and when I went to bring him back in for the night he was up on a perch with one of the others
A significant step forward but he still needs to eat so I will have to keep a close eye on him
If he does make it , he won’t be out for release as he will not survive back out in the wild, he will have company of the other tawnys with injured wings and eyes and food and a safe home

It was a nice day yesterday after the wild weekend, I had a wander round my garden to see what damage was done
Flowers still lovely and acers, wind has taken hundreds of leaves off the trees, a carpet of red and gold ,
Blessed with no damage to trees and aviaries.
