busy day gathering injured wildlifebusy day gathering injured wildlifeI've had one of "those" days.
Went ot get hair cut at 7.30 am, on way home found a Moor hen in the road, thats on the dinning room table in a cat carrier, doing ok, it was severly shocked, that winds me up, people who hit stuff in their car & drive off Been for a walk up the woods, on the way back, found a baby hedgehog, only 200 grams, you can't release them under 400 grams, so that's in another cat carrier on the dinning room table stuffing it's little face, that will never get through hibernation at that weight so it' ll have to go to my pal who saves a few hedge pigs. I daren't go out again, I haven't got many more cat carriers

mel x you're doing well today.
How are they getting on ?. Good Luck Wendy http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Darran said it's fate, not that he's a hippy, but he said 2 minutes either side of either trip & both would probably not have made it, I'll have to pick off some fly eggs the hedgehog in the morning, but he'll be fine I'm sure, the Mooor hen would have been better killed out right probably, I'll take it to work Monday & see what the boys think .
We always end up with something, is it just us who finds stuff? or does every one else just keep walking? I don't know I found another Moor hen a few years back, in exactly the same place as todays in fact, took it home, put it in the bathroom, as it was under renovation at the time, shouted up stairs to Darran, "there's a moor hen in the bathroom, can you deal with it" he had just finished a 12 hour night shift & had gone to bed, didn't hear me right & was woken up a few minutes later, by a fully recovered moor hen doing the wall of death round the walls, while emptying it's bowels all round the bathroom. I've never been allowed to forget that somehow Hey ho Cheers
mel x They both gone off to ST Tiggywinkles wildlife sanctuary in Herts, the RSPCA called about an hour ago to take them there, it's miles from me, we used to have a brilliant wild life sancturay near us, but it recently closed, it's left a lot of us in a pickle with where to take things now.
She said she will ring me later to confirm this is where she was going to take them, she was very sweet, it's the first time they've ever taken anything, probably because I had x2 things, who knows, they are usually quite reluctant. I gave them a little donation, so everyones a winner hopefully. Cheers
mel x busy day gathering injured wildlifeHi melons
That sounds like a very good outcome, by the way did the RSPCA person say anything about you not going out for a couple of weeks!!!? |
