There may be some other services for which returns had not been received by that date.

Getting the Bird! Joe Murray of the Ballyglass lifeboat station in Co Mayo recently found himself on a 'service' with a difference - returning a large gannet to its natural surroundings! The bird, which had a 5ft wingspan, had been found in a field, exhausted and distressed, and taken into the care of the local Westport Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

After a few days living in one of the society members' showers and tucking into large quantities of mackerel it was deemed healthy enough to return to the wild, and Harry Rock of the Westport society made several unsuccessful attempts to persuade the big bird to stay in its natural habitat.

He was growing desperate, after phone calls all over the north and south of Ireland had failed to get help, when he finally contacted Joe - working on the basis that 'if the RNLI could not help this unfortunate creature then no one could!' Joe took the society members under his wing, providing tea and sandwiches before taking them and their reluctant gannet to a suitable spot on the coast where it could be released near an existing colony - the key to a successful operation.

It seemed happy with its new-found friends and Joe was able to contact a very relieved Harry Rock the following day to confirm that his large problem was now solved!.
