February 21st

At 7.51 a.m. we discovered in the crow-aviary drowned in the water-bowl our disabled Jackdaw, nickname “Down-syndrome”. He/she was with us from before 2001 and was one of the few animals discovered by ourselves. We have counted again the whole amount of patients and we have now 143 of them !! Two Greek visitors from Kallonís: one from the greengrocer’s shop over there and the other from a terrace in that municipality. Continued was with the cutting of the meat, where yesterday already was started with. The Lapwing was transferred for some hours to an aviary in the open air to enjoy some sunlight and to have the opportunity taking a bath. We have received a phone-call that tomorrow a school from the island of Límnos will come to visit us. We had to trim the beak of the only Buzzard which is releasable. Showed to be 08-154, which had come-in as a climate-victim August 14^th 2008 and which, before we could think about a release in 2009, had damaged the most important flight-feathers and rectrices in that aviary. Is now ready for release next month.

Amount of present patients is now (at least) 143 until February 22^nd ; 6:45 a.m.)

Total amount of visitors this month: 003 (total this year: 0014)
