Twitcher Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yes, it was (eventually) captured by the RSPCA, took them over a day to come out the bird which was a sparrowhawk by the way was left overnight in the shop and was very distressed, happy ending though glad it escaped. I reckon it was after the pigeons at moorfoot and it misjudged and ended up in there poor thing. ---------- Post added 03-03-2016 at 17:36 ---------- South Yorkshire Animal Rescue 0114 2349656. RSPB (bird-related queries) 01767 693690. http://www.wildsheffield.com/what-we-do/wildlife-issues/rescue-centres I was very disappointed in the RSPB response when I phoned them his response was 'what do you want me to do about it I'm based in Essex' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFox Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Any one lost a Kestrel or know how to catch one? We have one trapped in our shop on the Moor in Sheffield #billycasper Which shop is it? I might drop in for a nosey tomorrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bus man Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The RSPB are quite clear that they don't run a rescue service:........url] I would therefore expect then to provide details of someone locally who did. It would be interesting to know if you left a bird in distress till next morning would they procecute you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hots on Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Is it just me or are Kestrels a very rare site nowadays. I used to see them (or maybe it was the same one) all the time, even at the brook/valley at Deerlands Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to know if you left a bird in distress till next morning would they procecute you ? Exactly... As someone who was an RSPB member I just wanted a local number as as far as I could see this was fast becoming a sad situation. And is was a Sparrowhawk...so glad it's free now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
