Life-saving for an injured bird of prey in Bichl: Thanks to the courageous intervention of a man from Benediktbeuern, the buzzard got a new chance.
Bichl - An injured bird of prey was rescued on Sunday (17 December) by an "attentive and courageous" Benediktbeurer, according to the police. As the officers of the Kochel am See police station announced on Monday, the 60-year-old made an emergency call around 12.10 p.m.

He had been driving on the B472 when he noticed the visibly battered animal near the Bichl-Nord exit (Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district). It threatened to get onto the road and be hit there.

The Benediktbeurer held the young buzzard, which had suffered considerable injuries to the wing, until the arrival of the police and the responsible hunting licensee.

Since the animal apparently had a good chance of survival, the police brought it in a transport box to the animal rescue center in Otterfing near Holzkirchen. There, the police write, "the young buzzard will be nursed back to health and is expected to be released back into the wild."
