Plenty of interest from auction bidders in stuffed kiwi found in a Reading garage

A  stuffed kiwi found in a garage in Reading sold for £3,608 at auction this week - way above the pre-sale estimate of £50-£60. At the sale, held on Tuesday by Hansons Auctioneers in their Derby saleroom, there were telephone or online bids from Australia and the United States as well as the UK. Included in the same lot were two skins and feathers of a species unknown. The successful bidder has not been identified but is believed to be UK based.
