A pigeon who was previously trapped underneath a railway tunnel in Reading has now thankfully been freed from the grating. 

Network rail had previously responded to concerns about trapped pigeons under one of its bridges. 

The organisation said that the issue is becoming relatively frequent, and that they are coming up with measures to stop further incidents. 

Several of the birds had become stuck in the grating under the bridge by the Medusa Lodge on Abattoirs Road. 

The grating has now been completely removed, meaning that the birds who regularly nest there will now not be in danger of getting stuck again. 

Network Rail said "We’re exploring ways to stop birds becoming trapped here in the future, and also ask that local businesses and the council work with us on any proposals – including removing local food sources such as open bins and rubbish which attract the birds to this location.”
