Watch heron fly free after release from fishing wire
This is the moment a heron was released back into the wild after it was freed from a tangle of fishing Animal Rescue in Nottinghamshire said the bird had "beaten the odds" after it was found trapped and wounded near the Ilkeston canal. Centre co-founder Jon Beresford, who nursed the heron back to health, said he was concerned the bird might struggle but was relieved when it "flew and flew"."It was amazing and made all the hard work worthwhile," Mr Beresford said.
