RED - FOOTED BOOBY?

MEGA: E.Sussex RED-FOOTED BOOBY imm St. Leonards-on-sea this afternoon then taken into care

Can you tick a bird that has been taken into capacity?...as long as you're there when/if it's released of course!

YES

BUT...what's best for the welfare of the bird?

FLOWN BACK TO WARMER WATERS

It's all being chewed over on Birdforum and elsewhere...

Quote of the night..."More tickable than the Kent Pond Heron!!!" AGREED.

What will happen next?

NO IDEA

Would I go to see it if it was decided to release it in Britain?

START THE CAR!!!

Whatever the outcome...let's hope this magnificent bird pulls through. A truly incredible occurrence...
