Over 3 months since going missing we continue to search for Bertie the missing Schnauzer.

Up until the early hours of yesterday morning and despite using a number of wildlife cameras, sightings have been sketchy at best of Bertie until the report we received at 1.15am on Tuesday.

Just after midnight we had what sounds like a very positive report, and both the spotter and friends, as well as GSPCA wardens spent some time in the early hours looking for possible signs of the missing dog.

On the 1st February a 1 year old female Lesser Black Back Gull was rescued near Route des Capelles unable to fly.

Once at the GSPCA she was cared for initially inside and then put in one of the rehabilitation flights.

The young bird was named 'Orchard' and a close eye kept on her during the first 24 hours to monitor the condition of her wings.
