This Tawny Owl chick arrived a couple of weeks ago and he’s doing well. When they first arrive, they see us as a threat and so won’t take food off us, so they need to be force fed to keep them alive. After a few feeds they start to readily take chopped up food from us, whilst clicking their beaks as a warning to us! Once he starts ripping up his own food, he’ll be moved into an aviary for the next stage of his progress to release back into the wild.
Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers who spent hours helping to prepare for another successful open day. Thank you also to everyone who baked for us, to those who donated prizes, to the stall holders and to everyone who braved the cold to come on the day. Thank you all, we raised £2,637.02!…

We rescued this young vixen yesterday after reports that she was in a poor state, struggling with walking on 3 legs and only slowly moving. Even a very ill or injured fox can be extremely hard to catch, thankfully with her we had some time to attempt a rescue and with the help of a…
We don’t very often rehome ponies, so we were chuffed when we rehome Willow to a great home not too far away. All too often its people wanting to give up their ponies and horses, we rarely find good homes for ur rescued friends. Willow came to us covered with scars where he had been…
