Steppe Buzzard Released in Conservancy
Members from the conservancy had the honor of
releasing a Steppe Buzzard at the Arboretum.
It had been mauled by dogs and was
treated by the local vet Dr Brenda Schlachter Daleside Veterinary Clinic.
This bird made a miraculous recovery and was able to be released.
Seeing the Buzzard fly off into the distance
was an emotional and heart warming experience for all
involved.
This is what the Conservancy strives for
and we hope to make it a regular occurrence by linking with FreeMe
www.freeme.org.za
While on our way to the release site,we came across a magnificent
puff adder crossing the road, these are notoriously shy and not
often seen so it was also an exciting event.
If you find a wild animal in need please
contact someone from Thorntree Conservancy or your local vet. Keeping our wild
animals in the wild is something that will benefit everyone in the area.
How many people can still say that they
saw a Puff Adder, Eagle, Duiker etc in their area?
A special thanks to Lorentz Weisenbacher our local Conservancy Conservation Officer and
Brenda for all their assistance with the release
