Hooper a lucky young Gannet recovering well at ths GSPCA having been rescued tangled in waste

Submitted by Steve on 15:59, 22nd Oct, 2019 | 0

Yesterday around midday a young Gannet was found tangled in real trouble.

If he hadn’t had been rescued he would have surely perished.

Environment Guernsey Ltd helped rescue the juvenile Gannet that Chris Massey spotted at Jaonneuse yesterday morning.

It was tangled up in rope and plastic. Unfortunately, when cut free, it didn't want to head back out to sea as it was too weak - and probably starving.

The bird has been named ‘Hooper’ and we are pleased to report recovering well.
