Today I was talking to someone who used to run a rescue in an area near us. I had been a spectator when his rescue had come under some scrutiny and ultimately closed its doors for good and it got me thinking. Often we hear things and we just automatically believe them. It’s kind ofContinue reading “Reflection”

So as most of you know our blogs are mainly just me talking about things that have happened, impacts, etc. Sadly in the world of rescue things are not as they should be. I have spoken to a couple of rescue buddies this weekend alone who have said they are going to close – orContinue reading “The Art of Destruction”

I think this is something most rescuers have to do – a lot of other types of people too. It’s something I’ve been getting dangerously close to burn-out as a result of. Basically, rescue is super emotional every day. We fight and don’t always win, there are losses, cruelty stories, abuse, injuries and each oneContinue reading “Emotional Multi-Tasking”

We are currently looking at different types of CCTV for our property. We have a motion camera at the rear but it was suggested we look at getting full CCTV. CCTV has always been a double-edged sword. While it can be used to protect somewhere it can also be used to make people feel uncomfortable.Continue reading “CCTV – Good or Bad?”

I thought I’d just write this blog post about the Jubilee weekend coming up. I just waffle on about all sorts and that seems like a good place to start. So on Friday and Saturday we will be at the Horwich Jubilee Events. It sounds like it will be alot of fun – two differentContinue reading “Jubilee”

I don’t know about you but I strongly believe in karma. I believe that life works in circles – that our behaviour and the way we behave in situations will always influence how we are treated going forward. It’s always nice to believe that bad people will get their just deserts – and sometimes becauseContinue reading “Circles”

I know my blogs aren’t always wildlife related – it’s more of a journal really to show you the other side of rescue – the more personal side if that makes sense. With baby bird season we see a lot of babies coming in who want to survive – some manage and some sadly don’t.Continue reading “Survival”

Most people know that I am absolutely obsessed with my chickens and my stag turkey Spartacus. Most people also know that for the last several months these chickens and turkey have been put undercover due to Avian Flu regulations. It’s hard as a chicken keeper when we have to lock up our normally free-ranging littleContinue reading “HenLove”

I was thinking about how long it has been since I last did a Post and decided now was a good time. It’s my last day at work (my full-time employment that pays for the rescue) until the New Year and I know things will get busy and hopefully festive from here on out. IContinue reading “What I Learned in 2021!”

This is one of the phrases that I’ve grown to hate and struggle to understand. It’s the phrase that people say to me when they have an injured animal or bird and they can’t be bothered to bring it in. It’s a phrase I just don’t understand. It actually feels a little hypocritical for anyContinue reading “Let Nature Take Its Course”
