I revisited the Whooper this afternoon as the light was better, it didn't appear to have moved and wasn't feeding while I was there, a passer by said she felt it had lost weight since it arrived a week ago and she passes everyday.

We often gets calls for help from people with injured or sickly birds (most recent a Short eared Owl and a Snipe), since the demise of the Three Owls Sanctuary I'm at a loss to know where to send them, can anyone suggest anywhere? Not sure how appropriate the RSPCA might be.

It was calling continuosly when I was down there did'nt seem that well and in a very precarious place next to the canal.RSPCA should be ok,Thats where the Little auk ended up .!!
In my experience RSPCA tend to go for the , if its not well put it out of its misery approach , with birds. I was told its all to do with funding .
Nick sent me a picture of the Whooper seen at Mytholmroyd, it's a distant photo and enlarging it disfigures the image too much to say if it's the same bird, one thing that does stand out is the thickness of the neck on the Mytholmroyd bird compared to the Sowerby Bridge bird. I'll contact the Swan rescue tomorrow and hopefully we can get it too safety and on the road to recovery. Cheers Jim for the link.
Gordon Gent contacted a place over in Bury when he had an injured Woodcock so I'll ask him for the number.
Rspca are useless in my opinion. I contacted them about the goosander at cromwell bottom with entangled bill and about a macaw in brighouse i'd found but they didnt really seem interested.
I agree about the RSPCA Andy. I contacted them about two separate goosander cases and neither were actioned.
Dan said today that the RSPCA will just put the birds down. Specialist centres are the only way to ensure the birds are given the best possible chance of recovery.
