Nankeen Kestrel


This little nankeen kestrel was hunting for insects over a dry season fire when got hit by a passing car. This broke its wing. It then landed in the fire and singed it's feathers and burnt its eyes. Fortunately the people in the car rescued it and brought it to us. We have pinned its wing and are treating its burns. The burns to its eyes are very painful but should heal ok.
