Another swan rescue today. We get understandably frustrated by the number of calls we receive for waterfowl caught up in carelessly discarded fishing hooks and line, in most cases we cannot help as we simply don’t have the resources to help or the birds are inaccessible on or close to water. Today we managed to…
It has been a busy week (as usual) with many calls for animals including wildlife. Unfortunately we are not always able to respond to large animal rescues, we do though offer advice and signpost. This week calls have included providing advice to vets, the fire brigade and the Police on several occasions. We receive many…

We will be ensuring that she is spayed, fully vaccinated, wormed and microchipped before adoption. Being a…
