The is making a recovery
An animal charity has strongly criticised the shooting of a buzzard County Kildare.
The buzzard is recovering thanks to care provided Grey Abbey Vets in Kildare town and MiNihgtVet, Kildare town, an out of hours veterinary emergency service providing overnight and weekend care.
The Kildare Animal Foundation said it is “saddened and outraged by the shooting of a buzzard” yesterday.
A representative added: “our wildlife is in enough trouble without these mindless acts against our native species. This is a crime.”
