Looking at the photo of the removed netting i believe its part of electric sheep netting and probably blown in on the recent gales .

Pete,

I only eat fish from Vietnam that's farmed and only now and again.

Well done to the rescuers!!

Well done to Phil and the guys for rescuing this bird. Awful to see this kind of thing, especially at such a popular birding favourite.

We're not vegetarian but do try to never eat fish. However they're caught, apart from being bad for the fish, it's always always  bad for the wider environment in one way or another as demonstrated below and also the other GND at Toft Newton last year.

An important reminder of the unhappy consequences of irresponsible disposal of netting/nylon etc.

Good result you guys. A good nights sleep and a couple of sardines for breakfast and hopefully it should be good to go in a day or two.
