A flamingo expert says she has hope for a missing bird from a wildlife park in Cornwall.
Frankie the flamingo escaped from a walled garden at Paradise Park in Hayle on Sunday morning.
Dr Caitlin Knight, a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter, who wrote a book on flamingos, said the birds were “more resilient than we might think”, and that, as Frankie had clipped wings to prevent far flight, he may not travel too far.
Park staff said on social media, external on Tuesday morning that they were asking people in the Newlyn and Marazion areas, near Penzance, “to keep an eye out for Frankie as we have sightings of her there and could do with more eyes”.
