Today they are all OK, we now have 8 goslings and 24 ducklings!

This week calls have included providing advice to vets, the fire brigade and the Police on several occasions. We receive many…
We have released another swan, the second in two days, after treatment. We rescued this one after reports that she had collapsed. On release we Searched for her partner, however he couldn’t be found, we left her near her nest and she was calling out for him. We hope they become reunited.
