A few weeks ago we were brought a barn owl chick that had been found on the ground, he was still covered in down, in fact he resembled a pompom! He was far too young to be out of the nest, he wouldn’t have survived more than a few hours. Fortunately other than being separated…
This year was our busiest event yet! With over 1,000 people attending we certainly had a lot of fun raising a grand total of £5,500! A massive thank you to all those that came down and supported us on Sunday. We were absolutely delighted to see so many people making the journey down to see…

Jack and Stevie are re-homed together in a wonderful new home. This pair came to us together about a year ago and have kept a very tight bond, so it’s important that we don’t split them up. Thankfully these guys have a new home and what a posh house they have, they have certainly landed…
