A wounded black kite, believed to have migrated from Brussels, Belgium, has been rescued by a farmer at Assin Breku in the Assin North District of the Central Region.
The bird, suspected to have been shot while preying on domestic chickens, was found in a weak condition by a 32-year-old farmer, Ebenezer Lativi.
A metal ring bearing the inscription “Museum Science, 1000 Brussel”, the website www.ring.ac, and a unique identification code, H220252, was found on the bird, confirming its association with the Brussels Museum of Natural Sciences.
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for the area, Sylvester Amakye-Nyarko, has since directed that the bird be handed over to local veterinary officers for treatment and care.
