    Yipee! Just took him to a field to see if he could fly and after a short struggle he went up like a rocket! I'm very happy, thanks for your help guys!

    Yep.. already considering taking the swift to the one in my county when I get the chance, if he doesn't fly today. UPDATE: drinking loads, more active, not eating a lot ( 1 mealworm today, 1.5 mealworms + a fly yesterday)

    Yeah, I understand. But this wing... I have tried just throwing it up a couple of inches, and it hasn't done very well. It has sort of hovered and flapped about (with both wings) but not much more. It may be true that it needs more height, but I am going to give it a little longer before I...

    Thanks. Yep, I see. Honestly, I just don't think they would bother in the vet's, they would just put it down. As for specialized wildlife hospitals, I don't know any in the area, and beacuase of Covid I can't travel far... I took it out earlier, and it had a g at flying but honestly it is...

    Hiya, saw 2 of these birds yesterday at a small river mouth (leading into the sea) walking along the edge with turnstones, sanderlings, little ringed plovers, kentish plovers and a little stint. I'm fairly sure these are just sanderlings, but the bill looked a bit odd, and they have interesting...
