On Friday early evening around 9pm the GSPCA were called out to attend a very serious incident of 5 ducks alleged to have been hit by a vehicle on Le Grande Maisons Road near to the Rue Sauvage area.
The birds were all sadly found deceased and GSPCA Warden on duty that evening had the sad job of collecting the bodies of the birds and return them to the GSPCA.

Over the last few weeks a young artist from Blanchelande School has been back and forth at the GSPCA to help provide a stunning back drop to our conservation area.
Hemu Khankashi from year 11 has helped provide a stunning mural on a wall facing the pond, picnic area and Poison Garden at the GSPCA.
The building has been a very plain beige for over 60 years and thanks to Hemu it has been brought to life with pictures of wildlife and plants adding to the amazing work that St Andrews Floral Group and so many others have helped with around the GSPCA grounds.
