January 17th

All patients were still alive at 4.45 a.m. !! We started carefully feeding the Buzzard some more coarse food. The Hedgehogs had eaten even better than yesterday-morning. We could remove a shot-pellet from the fore-head of the Buzzard, at the top of the Cere (Operculum), which confirmed positively the intake-diagnosis. Some dead tissue could be removed from the injury of the Pale Barn Owl > the injury is closing well. A skin-penetrating piece of dead bone could be removed from the humerus of the (new) Dark Barn Owl, so the skin can grow over the injury. “Máska’s” injury is looking more and more fine. Was until 11.45 a.m. the Buzzard seen only laying on his belly, thereafter he was sitting on his heels and at 3.25 p.m. he was standing on both legs > so a good omen !!
