Our contribution to wildlife rehabilitation this year

We've been called out to help with quite a few wildlife rescues this year. Having a background in wildlife rehabilitation we are able to advise on wildlife casualties and orphaned wildlife but with our limited facilities we divert most onto Wildlife Aid in Leatherhead. However, we appreciate that not everyone is in a position to safely contain an animal or transfer to Wildlife Aid promptly so we have stepped in on a few occasions.

Some of our rescues this year have included:
- Robin caught from inside Superdrug in Cranleigh, quickly assessed and released
- Blackbirds safely caught, contained, assessed and released from garden netting
- Jackdaw fledgling caught in a street after being attacked by other jackdaws, treated for parasites, rehydrated and transferred to Wildlife Aid
- Crow nestling caught up from garden after being abandoned for at least 24hrs, rehydrated and transferred to Wildlife Aid
- Blackbird fledgling safely contained after cat attack and transferred to Wildlife Aid
- Orphaned hoglets abandoned after dog attacked nest, injured ones humanely euthanised leaving a single baby to be hand reared round the clock. Due for release soon
- Several young hoglets contained over a period of a few weeks, all severely dehydrated and emaciated. Treated for fly strike, rehydrated, fed and eventually transferred to Wildlife Aid
- Dunnock fledgling stunned after being hit by car, given time to recover from stun and then released
