AN OWL that was left to die in a bin has been released back into the wild after receiving treatment.

Moyles Court Wildlife Hospital received a report from Cedar Vets in Verwood of a tawny owl that was found ‘dumped and left to die in a waste bin’.

The bird was found with a broken wing, dehydrated and smelt of bin waste.

After a lot of medical care, the owl was safely released back into society.

A spokesperson for Moyles Court said: “Sadly this Tawny Owl was found dumped and left to die in a waste bin.

“It was found by a compassionate passer-by and taken to Cedar Vets who passed him to us. The owl was dripping in smelly bin waste, as well as being dehydrated and starving he had also suffered a wing fracture.

“We see and repair many fractured wings at our Wildlife hospital.

“After receiving specialist treatment, nursing and rehabilitation here at our hospital he was once again strong and able to fly.”
