• Uncover rescue stories from Britain’s wildlife

    For over 40 years, we have been saving British wildlife. From ‘patient zero’ - a one-winged gull brought to our founder in 1980 - to the thousands of creatures we now rescue and treat, every year, our experience and expertise in UK wild animal care is unrivalled. We work with some of the UK’s top vets to provide expert care to all the creatures we look after.

    You can read about our current patients, below, and see some of them on our very popular live webcams.
