Love was in the air
On 14th February after the crew pulled a bird out the river. The Harris’s Hawk had flown away from its owner and had ended up struggling in the river close to Embankment Pier. The crew recovered it into the boat and took it back to Lifeboat Pier where he was dried out in the casualty care room. The RSPCA were contacted, but shortly after a man was searching along the embankment for the bird as it had a tracking device fitted and the pair were finally reunited.
