This male great horned owl was the 10,000th patient to be admitted to Gibsons Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. He was brought in recently after becoming entangled in garden netting. Fortunately, apart from some skin tears on one of his wings, he was in good condition and after about a week in care (left), was able to be released back into the wild (right). The total number of rehabilitated creatures continues to climb, as already three bald eagles, a barred owl and a glaucous-winged gull have been taken in since this owl.
