Submitted by Steve on 20:56, 21st Sep, 2016 | 0

Earlier today Gareth the Gannet was returned back to the wild after three weeks of rehabilitation at the GSPCA.

The young bird was rescued weak and thin three weeks ago at Port Soif by Animal Collection Officer Geoff George and spent over a week in our intensive care room for large sea birds and sea mammals until he was fit enough to be placed on to one of our rehabilitation pools.

After nearly two weeks on our pools it was decided with his fitness much improved and the fair weather to release him on the north of Guernsey.
