This is Savia – she is blind! She was found by a Spanish girl and was living in a field near to the old mineworks on the outskirts of Mazarron. Noah’s Arc went to the field where they eventually found SAVIA laying in the sun. When they got near her she
immediately got up and they could see that she had cataracts on both eyes.
Unfortunately when they tried to put a collar and lead on her she took flight. One hour later they managed to catch her.
