'Firmly wedged' hawk freed from car grille

'Firmly wedged' hawk freed from car grille

A driver turned up at a Hastings Vet last week, with a hawk jammed tight in the grille of her car after the pair accidently collided. The bird was stuck, spread eagle in the grille, wedged tight including around the radiator. But remarkably still alive. The rescue mission was so complicated, reinforcements were required. Vet nurse Nadine Hook spoke to Lisa Owen.
