Last night one of the Shelter volunteer wardens rescued a cormorant from St Sampsons that was trapped in a garden.
After a night of TLC and plenty of fish we are pleased to announce that we were able to release him this afternoon in a very sunny St Peter Port spot.
After being trapped behind a fence thankfully there were no injuries or health issues which meant he was able to go back to the wild where he belongs.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'When he came in last night even though he had been trapped for some time he was very healthy.'

Spring is always a busy time for the GSPCA and 2013 is no exception.
Last night in just two hours the Shelter accepted a feral kitten, a stray dog, a stray cat, a cormorant that had got trapped behind a fence, an injured duck, an injured gosling, a young collared dove and an injured gull.
That doesn't include the many others that came in throughout the day.

On the 8th February this year the GSPCA received a Razorbill from Alderney which had been affected by crude oil.
Staff at Alderney Animal Welfare had cared for the bird and done a wonderful job removing the crude oil from the its feathers after being found on the coast of Alderney. If it hadn't been for their staff this bird would certainly have perished.

In just two weeks we have had two stray tortoise.
Thanks to social media and the support of the local community the first was claimed within minutes of it going on facebook and the stray rabbit we featured also was claimed very quickly.
If you think that this may be your lost tortoise then please call the GSPCA on 257261 or pop into the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
The tortoise was found in the Vale area on Saturday and is a female Hermans adult.

Today the GSPCA received another oiled bird. This time a Gull was rescued from Chouet and brought into the Animal Shelter.
Although it is not thought to be the PIB (polyisobutene) that has killed thousands of see birds along the south coast of England the GSPCA are on high alert in case of any outbreak.
You may remember only a number of weeks ago an oiled bird was found dead in Alderney due to PIB. Here is some simple advice on what to do if you find sea life affected by this or any oiled substance -

After the recent news of a car apparently intentionally running over some ducklings this week we would like to remind everyone of the GSPCA cruelty complaint procedure.
With Spring comes many more animals out and about from hedgehogs coming out of hibernation to pet cats enjoying the warmth of the sunshine, ducks with their ducklings to dog walkers making the most of the nice weather.

Earlier this week late on Tuesday evening a very kind gentleman spotted this little fella at the side of the road in the St Saviours area.
Andrea as staff have named him at only just over a month isn't even old enough to be away from his mother and is needing bottle feeding by Shelter staff at the GSPCA.
Andrea arrived late in the evening and GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne accepted the young ferret who was very cold, weak and quiet.
A pen was quickly set up with additional heating and Andrea thankfully pulled through the first night well.
