Haven’t
reported for a while – thankfully it’s been a bit quieter with the colder
weather. Of course there’s always birds
in trouble if you go looking.
This young
lady, a green sea turtle, was picked up by one of our local pro fishermen as
she didn’t ‘look right’. A quick call to
our mate Lindsay of SOSSA to come with me to assess her resulted in the
determination with his expert eye that she had an infection.
So, with
the assistance of our Australian Seabird Rescue team member, Liz, she was off
to Taronga zoo hospital for diagnosis and after xrays and blood tests plus two
days in care she was cleared to be released back where she came from.
Team member
Paul picked her up from the hospital and he and Lindsay released her to continue to grow and hopefully go back
to sea and breed in a few years.
