OUR

WORK

MANY CASES
ARE DISTRESSING AND AVOIDABLE

The recent State of Nature Report identifies the UK as one of the most wildlife depleted countries. We see devastating effects of human activities every day in the Hospital.

TO FUND OUR WORK IT COSTS OVER

£400,000 EACH YEAR

COLLISIONS

Road traffic collisions are a frequent occurrence. Window strike and power line injuries are common. Treatment for concussion, temporary blindness, or damaged flight feathers can help injured wildlife recover and return to the wild.

ATTACKS BY DOMESTIC PETS

Cats kill millions of birds each year. We treat hundreds of birds, chicks, and fledglings that have been injured or orphaned as a result of cat attacks. We frequently see hedgehogs that have been attacked by pet dogs.

GARDEN INJURIES

We see painful injuries caused by strimmers, fence wire, football nets, or animals that have been poisoned by gardening chemicals or trapped. Dedicated care and medical treatment can save some of these poor creatures.

ORPHANS

Young birds and animals can get separated from parents, or brought in by members of the public who mistakenly fear the animal has been abandoned. These patients often need 24-hour specialist feeding and care.

MAN-MADE INJURIES

Discarded plastics, glass, fishing line and nets, pollution and chemical discharges from shipping are frequent causes of terrible injuries, infections and poisonings - all resulting from human carelessness and waste.

HABITAT LOSS & CLIMATE CHANGE

Intensive agriculture, hedge removal, fencing, paving, and poor plant life in gardens reduces habitat, food and water for wildlife. Many patients are underweight limiting their ability to withstand natural disease and parasites.
