Agents from the Nature Protection Service (Seprona) of the Civil Guard have recently intervened on two occasions to rescue protected wildlife specimens in the province of Seville. The operations, which occurred simultaneously, took place in different locations and required specialized technical deployment to ensure the animals' survival, as reported by the armed institute this Tuesday.
The first rescue occurred in the municipality of La Puebla de Cazalla, where a white stork (Ciconia ciconia) was found with a bleeding wound on its right wing. The patrol acted swiftly, collecting the bird, applying necessary safety measures, and transferring it to the Center for the Recovery of Endangered Species (CREA) in Seville, where it received specialized veterinary attention.
The second intervention took place in Cantillana, on an estate where a male eagle owl (Bubo bubo), a raptor species of high ecological value, was secured with a fractured wing. In both cases, Civil Guard personnel applied physical containment protocols to prevent further injury to the birds and ensure their stability during transfer.
The Civil Guard has highlighted the importance of citizen collaboration in detecting injured or at-risk wild fauna, recommending to notify competent authorities and avoid direct handling of the animals.
Both specimens are now at the CREA in Seville, receiving the necessary veterinary care for their recovery and subsequent reintroduction into their natural habitat. The Civil Guard has emphasized the importance of public cooperation in detecting endangered wild fauna, always advising to contact authorities and avoid direct handling of the animals.
