Below are before and after photos showing a leveret when it first came in to the centre about 2 months ago aged just a couple of days old, and photos taken today when we took him for release at Slimbridge.
It was amazing to see him free in the fields, instinctively hiding in patches of long grass and behind mounds and tussocks, dashing between them, keeping low to the ground when he was out in the open. Considering he had never seen open spaces in his life, it just proved that most of a wild animals behaviour is instinctive and doesn't need to be taught, just perfected with time.
The release of an animal that has had so much time and effort put into it truly is the best part of wildlife rehabilitation.
