Nearly 2 months to the day since the grey seal pups Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois were released by the GSPCA back into local waters and a month since they were last spotted we are pleased to announce that the residents of Jethou spotted them once again back in the bay where they were released yesterday afternoon.
The Christmas Lottery this year is helping save lives.
Thanks to a grant from the Christmas Lottery the GSPCA have been able to purchase an additional 5 Intensive Care Units.
June is always a busy month for the GSPCA as we are inundated with young animals and birds.
Currently the GSPCA has many young birds, baby hedgehogs, kittens, baby bunnies, new born degus, not to mention many sick and injured animals and birds.
The team at the GSPCA were overjoyed to be one of the many worthy causes to receive a grant to help purchase additional Intensive Care Units.
The GSPCA and RSPB in Guernsey want you and your dog to enjoy your walk but we are appealing to owners to take care when you are out walking.
Spring and early Summer is the main season when your dog needs to be properly controlled to protect young farm animals and ground-nesting birds.
Ground nesting birds during the bird breeding season, which is usually April to July is a time when we are asking you to keep your dog under close control or on a short lead in areas where they may be nesting.
Over the last few weeks the GSPCA have been receiving baby birds on a daily basis and the Animal Shelter would like to remind everyone what to do if you find a young bird.
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.
430am Saturday morning 3 staff and one volunteer were queuing outside the White Hart as the sun rose to start the 38.5mile Itex Walk around Guernsey.
The GSPCA team were made up of Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager, Geoff George Animal Collection Officer, Tony Gallie Animal Care Assistant and Natalie Randall Volunteer Warden.
At the GSPCA we are often called regarding abandoned animals.
Last week a concerned member of public spotted a trio of Grey Silkies wandering around the Vale Castle area.
The birds were quite nervous and wasn't able to catch them so called in the GSPCA to assist.
Geoff George the GSPCA Animal Collection Officer attended the seen a number of times last week before he finally managed to catch them.
Safe and sound now at the Shelter they are doing well and there is a home already lined up for them.
On Sunday the 14th July 2013 at the Bon Port Hotel we would like to invite you to Labradog Day, a day to celebrate Labradors in Guernsey.
Organised by Cherry Dewey we are asking labrador owners from around the Bailiwick to come along with their Labradors for a fun filled afternoon.
We are also trying to get as many Labradors from around the island so we can get a phot of them all together.
The day includes -
3pm a picture of all the Labradors together
