  • Searches are underway for Frankie, a young female flamingo that escaped from Paradise Park in Hayle, Cornwall, on Sunday morning.
  • Despite having her feathers clipped, Frankie managed to take flight from the walled garden at the wildlife sanctuary.
  • Park staff are “worried” for the bird, which has been missing for over 24 hours, and are actively searching the local area.
  • Sightings placed Frankie near Porthtowan on Sunday morning, approximately 13 miles away, before she was seen back in Hayle later that afternoon.
  • Paradise Park has appealed to the public for assistance, asking for any sightings to be reported as searches continue.
