Video: A rhea on the run for a month has finally been caught.
But it is not a the same giant bird which escaped from a farm in Patna, Ayrshire, in July and continues to be on the loose.
The latest rhea, which was originally thought to be an ostrich, had taken flight from a small holding near Forth, South Lanarkshire, in late July. It was spotted in a field on August 24 and has now been captured by officers from the Scottish SPCA, with the help of a farmer and some locals. The bird will now be taken to its new home - a wildlife centre. Inspector Heather Lawson said: “The story of the stray rhea, first thought to be an ostrich, has caused a bit of a stir, with people regularly reporting sightings of it.
