Charity aims to reunite kestrel found in Waterlooville garden with owners

THE RSPCA is looking to reunite an escaped American Kestrel with its owner after it was discovered in a garden in Waterlooville.

A woman phoned the charity after spotting the bird in her garden last Wednesday, and the animal was put in the care of an experienced falconer.

RSPCA animal collection officer Sue Brookes said: ‘She looked in her garden to see why the blackbirds were sounding the alarm and found this beauty attacking a fledgling.

‘She went to rescue the fledgling but sadly it was too late and the kestrel flew onto the fence. She noticed the jesses and offered her arm and it just stepped up onto her.

‘We’d love to be able to reunite the bird with the owner but do not know where she has come from as her details are not up to date.’

If you can help reunite the kestrel with its owner call 0300 1234 999.
