Nottinghamshire Police were called to the farm and the bird was safely manoeuvred into a trailer to be transported back to its home.

Inspector Alan Easdon said: “It appears the bird has been attracted by the snowdrops at Hodsock. 

“Thankfully, it seems to be no worse off for its adventures.

“We would like to thank the public for their help and support in rallying round to help us locate the bird and reunite it safely with its owner."
