Guillemot Rescued by Cat Flap Cavalier on South Devon Beach.


Back on the beach and guess who we met...


It was a hard choice, stone, ponies or dig a new hole in the sand.


Instead we started to toddle off along the beach, leaving the ponies behind.


Laying on the sand by the water line was a bird, a big bird. I went over and it never moved. I stood there, mum put away the camera, grabbed her scarf from around her neck.
DRAMA.
Dogs and horses on the beach and the bird wouldn't move, it just sat there. 
Dad wrapped up the bird in mum's scarf, it gave Dad a couple of pecks on his hand.
We walked back the way we had come, past four more ponies coming down onto the beach.Dad carried the bird back to the car and they wrapped it my dog towel.


We then took it to the nearest vet. Never even parked the car, Dad got out and hurried the bird inside.


One safe sea bird on it's way to a wild bird rescue center to recover.


Many sea birds have been found on our beaches over the last few weeks. Some of them have been covered in oil from ships or totally exhausted because they have had to fight to survive in the storms we have had.


Bird rescue can be a tiring job. You can't save them all, but if you can save one, the drama is worth it.

    I'm so thankful you did what you could to help that bird have a good life. I am sure it was exhausting and I'm glad you are able to get some rest.

    Mom use to help a friend at a bird rescue. Very tiring especially when it's a pelican resisting

    That's just awesome you saved that bird! I wish we lived at the beach. I do that sort of thing every day! Beautiful cavalier! I have one, too. They are the gentelest, sweetest dogs! I found you on Blog Paws. I'm going to join Wordless Wed. next week.

    Awww, did my comment get erased. Doggy to the Rescue! Mr. Big Bird, worry not. You are going to a place where you will be protected until you recover.
