I wish to praise firefighter Shaun Carpenter for saving the birds at Peatmoor lagoon recently (EA May 28).
I just hope that these aren't the same four young birds that I saw trapped on Sunday, May 23. I immediately contacted the RSPCA via their national number (and got a quick answer) and reported the situation to them.
They told me they would dispatch someone as soon as possible. I left them my number but nobody called me. I fed the birds and went home.
This is the second occasion I am aware of where the RSPCA haven't responded to a callout at the lagoon recently. A few weeks ago I reported a duck with a plastic ring trapped around its neck. It took three calls to the RSPCA over the following three weeks. I no longer saw the duck with the ring. I have no idea if it was rescued by the RSPCA, someone else or it simply died.
The RSPCA has lost a lot of respect from me.
