2009 so far...

We have now taken in over 70 casualties this year, which is a considerable number for the winter months, which is our quietest time of the year.

We have treated several foxes, mostly as a result of road accidents. We have also dealt with a few deer, again after collisions with cars.

A sparrowhawk was brought in after colliding with a window, suffering from concussion. After treatment and a couple of days recuperation, she was released back where she was found.

More underweight hedgehogs have been brought in and these are now tucking into regular supplies of cat and dog food, putting on weight, and will be released when the weather improves.

We are also busy organising our 25th Anniversary Open Day, to be held on Sunday 07 June 2009. It's hard to believe that it was so many years ago that I took in that very first tawny owl, the beginnings of Vale Wildlife.

Please tell all your friends about the Open Day and help us to make it a day to remember!
