This young mallard duckling has been with us for a week now and doing well. The duckling was found on its own, with no parents around or any other ducklings. It can be quite difficult to rear single ducklings as they can become quite stressed and withdrawn on their own, constantly crying for their parents, fortunately this chap has done well…
Springtime is a particularly hard time for us at the rescue, with plenty of baby wild animals coming in, almost every day. Each animal can take a huge amount of time and effort, so it puts an extra strain on the charity. Firstly we need to assess the patient, we need to be sure of the…
This poor chap came to us with a broken leg, depending on where the break is, determines the treatment we administer. This chappie has a break quite high up and so he’s in sling to support his weight. He’s quite happy in this position, he can easily feed and drink. In a matter of a couple more…
This guy was found on the roadside, he was cold, wet and extremely weak but fortunately, after an examination we confirmed that he was not injured.

She’s so sweet, how could we not take on this little girl! This little duckling was brought in by a cat, fortunately the owner retrieved her from the jaws and took the duckling to a vets before later bring her to us. Cats mouths are very infectious so it’s lucky that this duckling got away with minor…
This chap came to us early in the new year, exhausted and very weak. A few weeks of rehabilitation and he was ready to go. Its times like this that makes the 6am 14 hours days seem worth while.
We work very hard from 5am until 11pm, 7 days a week, so that we can rescue and care for so many animals and hold down a full time job. This time of year can get very depressing with the cold, wet weather and dark mornings and nights and the relentless phone calls and animals needing…
