It’s been an incredibly manic day so far here at WAF! Our reception team have barely had a seconds rest between answering phone calls and our vets and volunteers have been inundated with new patients!

If you are trying to get into contact with us, please be patient. We are running on quite a small team with everything that’s currently going on and we may need a bit more time than usual. We hope you understand!

These tiny hatchlings are great-spotted woodpeckers, and they were brought into the centre after falling from their nest. Sadly, they were ice cold on arrival and were rushed into an incubator to warm up before treatment.

Unfortunately, one of the group was too weak to survive, but the others are now much more lively and have been transferred to an experienced orphan feeder for round the clock care. We hope that they will be able to return to the wild once they have fully developed!

With lockdown set to continue, people are out gardening more than ever. Unfortunately, this is leading to a vast increase in youngsters being admitted to the centre.

Sadly, these four rabbit kits were admitted to the centre, having been dug up from their warren. Luckily, all of them had escaped injury but, unfortunately, were unable to be returned to their nest. After a thorough examination from our vet team, they were transferred to Angela, one of our vital animal carers.

Please be extra vigilant for wildlife when gardening at this time of the year.

This Canada gosling (treated under licence) has made a remarkable recovery in the last 24 hours!

Arriving in a very collapsed state, it could barely stand and a veterinary examination found significant bruising to its neck and head. Maru, our lead vet, spent several hours gently nursing it back to health and, amazingly, this little guy is now looking much better!

Although still a little wobbly, it is now able to stand and walk and it shouldn’t be long before it joins others of its kind.

It’s been a while now since this buzzard arrived with us, but we’re pleased to announce it has made great progress!

Originally transferred from the RSPCA after being hit by a car on the M40, it was left with a fractured clavicle and needed a period of supported cage rest in order to recover. We’re delighted to say that it is now looking much better and has just been moved into one of our aviaries to stretch its wings at last!

We’re hoping it can head back to the wild very soon!
