The eighth of nine programmes The Cry of a Bird
Introduced by Rene Cutforth
' So you see, when you get the trust of a bird, it's such a marvellous thing ..."
DOROTHY YGLESIAS has won the trust of countless injured birds since the day in 1928 when she first took in a jackdaw with a broken wing. She and her sister continued to care for the birds because they respected the trust of the children of Mousehole that they would cope with the injured and oiled birds brought to them. Dorothy, now in her 80s, is leading a local campaign to keep the Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital and Sanctuary. RENÉ CUTFORTH discovers why it matters so deeply to her and to the entire village.
