Duck Release

ByJon

Early yesterday morning before the rest of the world was up we did a quick duck release. This handsome boy has been with us a few weeks and really couldn’t wait to see the back of us. We can never tell a wild animal why we are putting needles in them, tube feeding them, giving them foul tasting meds or have them in captivity.

We always, always aim to release animals back into the wild……..including that ‘little owl’ that we released quite a few weeks ago that insists on coming for his tea every night!!……go, will you!!!

    Rescued Piglet

    ByJon

    This newly born piglet was found abandoned and defenceless; she would not have survived more than a few more hours without her mother. The people who found her contacted a nearby farm where she no doubt came from, they were told to “throw it in the ditch”, luckily they cared, they kept her warm and brought…
