Life had become a blur for the crane whose fuzzy vision had kept him in captivity. Experts were baffled by the Eurasian crane’s unusual behaviour which saw him spend a lot time on his own and lose weight.
As a result, the three-year-old bird was kept at the Pensthorpe Conservation Trust (PCT), near Fakenham.
After a specialist eye examination, however, it was discovered that he had cataracts in both eyes and a decision was made to operate on him.
Now, he has become the first crane in the UK known to have been successfully operated on for cataracts and is enjoying a new lease of life.
