BURRILL

Check out the smile on this big boy’s face!  Sitting quite comfortably with Australian Seabird Rescue team member, Belinda, he is no doubt saying ‘thank you for removing a large hook from my beak’.  A mighty effort from Belinda and Barry who both travelled an hour from opposite directions to help this very handsome boy.  Unable to get him the first time they returned to Burrill Lakes a couple of days later and successfully caught and released him.  Bird 907 on the success list.

 

Belinda commented ‘isn’t it great when you catch and release them!'

It sure is, Belinda, and with great team work it is a good reminder why we volunteer and love what we do.  Thank you both for a great result.
