On the 26th June a very young, starving kestrel was found on a road in St Peters.
With no mother in site and traffic back and forth the bird was rescued and brought to the GSPCA in St Andrews.
He was placed in an intensive care unit and still had much of his down and not fully feathered due to his age.
Day and night he was hand fed by the team at the Shelter until he was fit enough to place in one of our rehabilitation aviaries.
Over the last few weeks he has built his strength and learnt to fly and forage for food.
