Subject: Injured Gannet

 
Hi Folks 
 
I have been following this email thread from  Scotland as I am just about to 
come across to enjoy your wonderful  country.
 
A couple of years ago I found a similar Gannet in  central Scotland - over 100 
km from the coast which had been grounded. I think  it had struck a overhead 
cable. It was uninjured and was very powerful when  approached. Kathleen's 
advice of throwing a blanket over it is sound. Watch your  eyes if you get close 
to it and grip it in the upper neck to control its neck  movement. 

 
We moved our bird to a local loch (scottish word  for lake!) and put it on the 
water where it was able to take off naturally.  Remember they are big birds and 
normally take off from the water (or breeding  cliffs) and the reason it may be 
on the shore may be that it cannot get  airbourne again while sitting on terra 
firma. I've not seen the photos and it  may be injured or sick, but if it is 
healthy ths is where I disagree with  Kathleen, getting it onto water (eg back 
into the sea) to help it look  after itself may be the best course of action.
 
best wishes
 
David Jardine
