An animal-lover has blasted the RSPCA for 'snatching away' a sparrow she nursed back to health after finding it as a dying chick in a back garden.

Victoria Hawes, 21, took the ailing creature under her wing after finding it outside a pensioner's home in June.

The bird, which she named Sunny, was so young it had not fully formed and was completely defenceless.
