Over the past few days there has been a hunt for a moorhen with an entangled leg injury in Wroxham. Moorhens are quite a secretive black bird with a bright red snout belonging to the rail family. He is one of a pair who have a clan of newly hatched chicks ~ who reside on a wedge shaped spit of grassed land, bordered on one side with trees and plant scrub.
The local Wildlife Rescue Partnership were contacted by Susan, Neil and Sharon on the Peninsula river front in Wroxham. Cheryl, Chris and other local people have been doing sweeps for the canny bird.
