The Thrush was taken to Beryl Goodall, a friend of ours who's been taking in rescued/injured animals of all sorts since before I've known her, which is 20 years now - in fact, if you take an injured animal in to the vets in Castle Street, it's Beryl who they will pass it on to.
The bird had a protein drink and some antibiotics and promptly fell asleep! It had some damage to its right eye but was otherwise OK and Beryl thinks it should be OK after some rest and a few days' TLC. Quite a cute little thing, but clearly traumatised after its ordeal, and just wanted somewhere safe and quiet to recover.
Colin, great to meet you at last!
