The Scottish SPCA saw the number of young birds being cared for at its Fife Rescue Centre tripled in a week after storms in the area. The charity’s centre was looking after over 300 young birds following the high winds.
Scottish SPCA Wildlife Rescue Centre Manager Colin Seddon said, “Almost all of the birds that have come into our care this week were blown out of their nests.
“The strong winds came at a really bad time of year as many fledglings have just hatched in nests at the top of trees.
“These were really severe weather conditions and in some cases the fledglings had been blown far from their nest or had suffered injuries.”
