The team at our National Wildlife Rescue Centre have released an osprey after he was found trapped in fishery netting that he had flown into.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The Osprey arrived at the centre on 22 July unable to fly with a potential shoulder injury.  The ranger, who ringed the bird, had taken him to a vet to be checked over before bringing him to the centre to undergo quarantine for two weeks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

National Wildlife Rescue Centre assistant manager, April Dodds said: \u201cThe 11-year-old adult male osprey came to us last month after flying into a fishing net. He was unable to fly but apart from that he thankfully seemed unharmed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had to undergo two weeks in quarantine due to bird flu regulations, where he was able to rest, eat and receive veterinary care and once that period was over he advanced to our large eagle aviary to build up his strength and muscles to fly. After just under three weeks he appeared to be flying well and was given an x-ray just to confirm there were no other health issues.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the staff at the centre, the veterinary team and the ranger who rung and found him, he was released on 16 August back to the borders, at the original nest site where he was born.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
