We have been around for over a decade now and we have steadily grown year on year, being able to care for more varieties and numbers of animals. The following graphs are from our records. The first shows the total number of animals we rescue each year, this is on average around 800 each year,…
Released after rest, relaxation and a thorough examination and worming. This young juvenile found in a busy urban area near main roads was taken in by us last week, now they are with a group of young swans to find a mate.
