EDITORS COMMENTS
This heartwarming photo captures the incredible journey of animals birds at the Wild Bird Hospital and Sanctuary in Mousehole, West Cornwall. In this particular shot, we see Barney the Barn Owl receiving tender care after a tragic accident that left his wing broken. The dedicated RSPCA assistant, Pamela Baines, only 23 years old at the time, takes on the role of nurse for Barney's recovery. The image showcases not only the compassion and expertise of those involved in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation but also highlights an important aspect of nature's resilience. Before these majestic creatures can take flight once again, they must first learn to walk anew. Barney's wing is carefully taped up and treated before he is gently placed into a warm and comfortable basket to rest until his wing heals completely. Taken in November 1969 by Mirrorpix as part of their collection from Memory Lane Prints, this photograph serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's commitment to caring for our fellow creatures. It symbolizes hope and perseverance amidst adversity while emphasizing the importance of providing sanctuary for injured wildlife. In summary, this image encapsulates both vulnerability and strength as it portrays wild birds undergoing rehabilitation under expert care. It stands as a testament to our collective responsibility towards animal welfare during times when they need us most - reminding us that sometimes learning to walk again is just as crucial as taking flight.
