Birding and conservation (Geronticus eremita)

Two days ago, my group and I were birding and saw a limping Bald Ibis. Upon closer inspection we could see that its toes were swollen and caught by the plastic ring. I told the vet responsible for the Bald Ibis project and he said they will trap it as soon as possible to provide proper treatment. Birding and conservation!

Fantastic shot Yeray, a real shame about the birds injured foot, ringers are more interested in stats than a birds welfare.
