Based as far away from the sea as we possibly can be it isn’t that often we get in gulls. However they are well known scavengers at tips and do come inland to see what human food they can scrounge.
This cocky young gull came in last week and is eating all on his own. In fact whilst I was cutting up a fresh mackerel for him he decided he couldn’t wait, scooted over and dragged the large fillet off whole…………self service I guess!!
This beautiful male Partridge was brought to us by staff at the City Hospital Nottingham. He lived with his partner in the hospital grounds, but had received an injury to his wing, breaking it. The break was on a joint, so we didn’t have too much hope that we’d be able to release him back…
