Peregrine Falcon receives TLC at Paradise Park in Hayle
An injured Peregrine Falcon was recently taken into Rosevean Vets in Penzance. Steve Otty assessed and treated the bird then asked keepers at Paradise Park if they would take it in for recuperation.
Curator David Woolcock explains “This falcon is a very young bird and was in a bad way with a broken leg and wing. It had been fitted with a leg ring, so we asked Dale Jackson if he could identify it. Dale was a bird keeper at Paradise Park for many years and is also a volunteer for the BTO (British Trust for Ornithology), and he was able to tell us the exact nest near the coast of Cornwall where it was hatched.”
Leg rings are fitted by licensed volunteers when chicks are still in the nest to monitor the species, which is on the Amber List of UK birds of conservation concern.
“The good news is that our vet Steve is confident the bird will make a full recovery, and we should be able to release it back into the wild in another 4 to 6 weeks time. The bird has adapted well to being in an enclosure and is eating well. Once healed it should be perfectly capable of flying as strongly as it did before.”
Keepers believe it is female and she is being kept off show to the public to allow her to recover. At Paradise Park a Lanner Falcon called Cleo, displays her amazing flying skills in the Park’s daily ‘Eagles of Paradise’ show.
