Staff and volunteers at Cuan Wildlife Rescue have since tried to catch the duck, to bring it into their care, but have said it is currently in 'fight or flight' mode.Fran Hill of Cuan Wildlife Rescue said:"It such a tricky situation this. I live up the road from Homer and I go down there a lot and we are continuing to monitor him – and when possible we are still trying to catch him.
Fran went on to say that it is difficult to know what to do in this situation. She said he cannot be darted as that in itself is a risk and there's the possibility that if they were to remove the bolt the procedure might not be successful."Even though there have been successful bolt removals – this isn't a one off I'm afraid – there are sadly more non-successful ones."
