Over the weekend the front room was stripped out and repainted thanks to the help of some wonderful volunteers (It just needs a new floor and some furniture now!).
On Sunday we released our young pigeon (before all the thunder!) and luckily the rain missed us all day. He was a little wobbly at first as they always are but he soon got the hang of it. He hung around the hospital for a while and then off he went - of course we'll continue to leave food out for him. Later that day a man from Dumfries brought us an injured hedgehog - he was missing a back leg and had to be PTS.
On Monday we received a young hedgehog from a couple in Dumfries - she is eating well and I have high hopes for this one!
On Tuesday another couple from Dumfries brought us a very tiny baby bird. It was so young it had no feathers and we couldn't identify the species. Unfortunately he didn't survive. The SSPCA arrived later that afternoon to bring us a duckling (which unfortunately died) and 5 nestling housemartins which are currently being hand reared by one of our dedicated volunteers.
On Wednesday we released our young collared dove. It flew straight into a tree (and crashed into a few branches). Again we will leave food out for him.
