The officers captured the bird and passed it on to the environment section of Mepa. The case happened at about 10.45 a.m.

It was the second such case in a matter of days.

Late on Friday a tired flamingo landed at Verdala Grounds in Cospicua. It was handed to the police who in turn handed it to Birdlife officials.
