A baby Longtail was saved on Sunday thanks to a young boy.

Oliver Verster saw the baby bird having difficulty at Horseshoe Bay and got the attention of the lifeguards.

Kainoa Simmons, a lifeguard on duty came to the rescue by retrieving the bird and put him in a large bucket.

Oliver then carried the bird across the beach to the lifeguard stand with Mr Simmons.
