Update on Bertie as the search continues

Submitted by Steve on 18:06, 2nd Dec, 2014 | 0

We continue to search for Bertie and log reports from around Guernsey

We have had a number of recent reports in the Perelle area, which could have been Bertie, but we still have no pictures to confirm it was him.

Staff, volunteers and many wonderful kind souls are continuing to help in the search for Bertie, as well as displaying posters to help advertise him.

Previous sightings have been around the Grandes Rocque, Barras Lane and near St Sampson's High School.

Seal pup advice after first call of the season

Submitted by Steve on 17:36, 1st Dec, 2014 | 0

Every Autumn the shores of the Bailiwick see grey seal pups being born, and the GSPCA are issuing advice today on what to do especially with inclement weather we have seen recently.

We had our first potential call on the weekend and the earliest seal we have rescued in recent years was Jethou Bumblebee who was rescued during the last week of November back in 2012.

In the last two years at the GSPCA we have rescued four Grey Seal Pups in total.  Two last Winter Eden and Trinity and the previous year Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois.
