Sadly, this isn’t the heron we rescued, it’s what we would have wished for him. Our bird was humanely euthanised, he’d been shot and the leg couldn’t be saved. We did the kindest thing for him and put him out of his misery. Thanks to the man who found him in the reeds and brought him in, at least he wasn’t left to have a slow or painful end. Such a beautiful bird, wish we could have had a happy ending.
