FOUND - NEHU 2007 MDS 2110

Heyup

 

This bird came down in a field opposite us on Friday.  It's survived till today drinking river water and huddling on the bank.  We figured it was a feral till we saw the rings so nipped out and have it here in a box with water and some seed/rice but it's not interested in either at the moment.

 

There are no stamps on the wings.

 

It's been attacked and cannot fly - but this might be due to the damaged flight feathers (secondaries mostly).  Should I pull the broken feathers out?  There is some flesh damage to the neck and breast but it's alert and fiesty, and has lived ok for 3 days.

 

Thanks,

Hiya, we're just outside Nottingham.   Spoke to our coal man who races them but he hasn't got any details for people in the NEHU.

 

I've found a number for the NEHU so I'll call them tomorrow morning...
