We set up at 8am just outside Marks and Spencers and before the day could even start the road was full of tourists off the cruise liners and locals enjoying the lovely weather and the many stalls and entertainment.

We had many visitors playing the games on offer and many purchasing local Guernsey goods from fudge to GSPCA hoodies and hats.

Peter the young kestrel rescued, reared, rung and released

Submitted by Steve on 16:12, 1st Aug, 2015 | 0

On the 26th June a very young, starving kestrel was found on a road in St Peters.

With no mother in site and traffic back and forth the bird was rescued and brought to the GSPCA in St Andrews.

He was placed in an intensive care unit and still had much of his down and not fully feathered due to his age.

Day and night he was hand fed by the team at the Shelter until he was fit enough to place in one of our rehabilitation aviaries.

Over the last few weeks he has built his strength and learnt to fly and forage for food.

At the GSPCA during the term holidays we run guided tours, but on Thursday we ran an exclusive surprise experience planned by a very loving husband.

A number of weeks ago, in secret Art Allen had been in touch with the GSPCA to arrange a surprise for his wife who was celebrating a milestone birthday and taking retirement from full time work.

Mid morning on Thursday Art Allen arrived at the GSPCA with his wife Jean who had no idea why she had come to the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
