Last weekend the GSPCA and Guernsey were featured on BBC Countryfile.
If you missed the show you still have 5 weeks left to watch the programme on BBC Iplayer. To watch it go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01bpqs4
The Shelter staff enjoyed working with the film crew and production team. The GSPCA were very proud showing them the work we do for Guernsey’s wildlife and facilities we have.
This weekend we welcomed Islanders to our first of the two planned guided tour events. The sun was shining and the three tours were received extremely well.
The visitors were walked around the Shelter being shown the facilities and getting close to the 200 resident animals and birds.
The tour started in the newly refurbished wildlife unit and went to each of the Shelters departments meeting staff and volunteers whilst finding out what we do and our plans for the future.
The start of 2012 has already brought the Animal Shelter a number of sick and injured animals & birds from around the island but with the continuation of the windy weather we are asking everyone to keep a good look out.
The bad weather means it is difficult for hedgehogs and birds to feed normally and the young seal pups can easily be separated from their mothers.
It's coming into that time of year and the UK have already been dealing with their first few sick and injured seal pups. When out and about the GSPCA would like to urge the people of Guernsey and visitors to take care if you see a seal or seal pup as with the autumn weather they can be at risk from the strong currents and bad weather.
