The plan the GSPCA have in place is working well and we are aware of much of his movements, but we do urge people not to actively go out to look for him or feed him as this will affect the safe capture of Slygo the very nervous, timid stray terrier.

With the mild weather settling in and the weight of the two seal pups now at the recommended release level the GSPCA are planning to get Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois back to the wild next week.

Jethou Bumblebee who was rescued from Jethou towards the end of last year and Hanois who was rescued from Pleinmont back in January would have both perished if it had not been for caring public reporting them to the Animal Shelter and the quick response in rescuing them.

Baby bird advice from the GSPCA Animal Shelter in Guernsey

Submitted by GSPCA on 13:02, 11th Apr, 2013 | 0

Despite all of the bad weather and snow around the Bailiwick birds are singing and nesting with the first hatchlings already out and about.

The GSPCA would like to remind that as a general rule, it is best to leave baby birds alone.

A baby bird has a greater chance of survival in the wild than it has being hand-reared by man as they learn to fend for themselves and how to forage for food by their parents.

Around 2 weeks after hatching young birds in your Bailiwick garden usually leave the nest, just before they learn how to fly.
