Little owl bruised but not broken

This rather stern-looking Little Owl arrived at the centre after being freed from netting.

The tiny bird had been trapped, causing severe bruising to the skin; luckily, it escaped without any fractures to the bone of the entangled wing.

Now on painkillers, it will stay with us until the bruising has completely healed and the vet team is happy that it has has full use of its wing.
