As the nights draw in, motorists are being urged to be and avoid collisions with animals on rural roads.

There are estimated to be more than 74,000 deer-related traffic collisions across the UK every year, and that risk increases during mating season which runs throughout November.

By following some simple advice, we can keep ourselves and the wildlife safer:
- Use full-beam headlights at night if no other cars are around, as they will reflect the deer’s eyes.
- If you spot a deer, dip your headlights to avoid startling it
- Deer often cross the roads in the same locations. Where there are deer warning signs you should slow down, stay alert and be prepared to stop.
- Deer often travel in groups so if you see one crossing the road they should slow down and drive with caution as others may follow.

⚠️OILED BIRDS⚠️

We are seeing reports of contaminated Guillemots and Razorbills along our coastline after Storm Bert - our friends at East Sussex WRAS have stabilised and transferred this lovely young Razorbill to us for treatment and eventual washing, but sadly some have also been washed back out to sea and could not be caught.

Please keep an eye out if you are walking along the beach - this can affect several species, but most often Auks. It may not be immediately obvious they are oiled, but it's unusual for these birds to be out the water and on the shore, and is usually a sign they need help. They look a bit like penguins, so are hopefully noticeable to people as something they don't usually see.

‼️Please do not attempt to wash the birds‼️It's incredibly important they are stabilised and strong enough before any washing is done. We also have a special sink system here, where we can divert any contaminated water to be collected in a subterranean oil tank so it does not re-enter the water system.

If you find a contaminated bird please call us for advice on 🔵 0300 123 0723 🔵 or message our Facebook ASAP. Please stay within sight of the bird if you can, but do not scare it back into the water.

Well what can I say that hasn’t already been said about the traffic.🤦‍♀️ Needless to say Darren is struggling to get to some of you at the moment. He is trying his hardest but to be frank it’s just not going to plan at the moment.
So if you are waiting for a delivery he will get to you when he can but it might not be today.
Our deepest apologies but as you are all aware it’s just hell on the roads at the moment.
If anyone needs deliveries in the next few days, please give us as much notice as possible. We can’t promise our usual service until something changes with the road issues.
Stay safe and look out for each other we are all just trying to get by. 👍🏼 🚦🚧⛔️🚦🚧⛔️
