Stark example of plastic pollution injuring wildlife at work today 😢. Someone found this lovely juvenile red-legged partridge in their garden with some plastic string wrapped tightly around its leg (I’m not sure where it’s from but looks a bit like giant dental floss?!). Unfortunately it has cheese wired deep into the tissue causing swelling, infection and pain.
We are going to try him/her with some antibiotics, pain relief and TLC and probably send him to someone who rescues birds but there is a chance he may need to be euthanased #PlasticHarmsWildlife #TurnOffThePlasticTap
