Recently Rhonda and Bill received a call from a security guard near Kembla Grange. A pelican had managed to land in a commercial property between 2 high fences. Initially they considered arranging ladders and climbing over the fences, including barbed wire, but then Rhonda decided she could manage to squeeze under the fence with the help of Bill and the security guard holding up the heavy wire. Rhonda caught the bird and squeezed him back to Bill waiting on the outside of the fence. The pelican turned out to be a "repeat offender" as he was already known to ASR (Australian Seabird Rescue). After giving him a feed he was released at Berkeley harbour.

Everyone is happy with a successful release!
