#tuftedduck

It's release time for our tufted duck! After completing his course of antibiotics and with a clean bill of health, he was taken back to where he was found and returned to the wild at last. 🦆 #wild #wildlife #rescue #simoncowell #wildlifeaid #vet #veterinary #bird #tuftedduck #release #animal #animals #nature #animalsofinstagram #picoftheday #wildliferescue #uk #london #england #photography #instadaily #instagood https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oB-ICA6tJ/?igshid=7d6k2083pdqv

This beautiful tufted duck arrived at the centre after being, surprisingly, caught by a cat. Although bright and responsive, he had a small injury to the right side of his lower beak and needed antibiotic treatment. This is now well underway and he is coping very well! Hopefully it won't be long now until he is free once more. #wild #wildlife #rescue #simoncowell #wildlifeaid #vet #veterinary #bird #tuftedduck #animalrescue #animal #animals #nature #animalsofinstagram #picoftheday #wildliferescue #uk #london #england #surrey #instadaily #instagood #birdsofinstagram #treatment #hospital #waf https://www.instagram.com/p/B7jQnOjghfm/?igshid=167i1044fu29
