Thank you for your understanding!

Meet the team!

Today we are introducing Nadine who has been a Casualty Collection Volunteer since August 2021 and started working in our intensive care unit in March 2022.

This is what Nadine had to say about volunteering for Blyth Wildlife Rescue.

I started volunteering after a neighbour found a lone duckling and we contacted Blyth Wildlife Rescue, and they agreed to take it into their care.

My favourite animal so far has been a baby stoat - known as a kit. I collected it as a baby then was able to release it when fully grown.

I help with the care of the animals in our hospital, but I am also regularly involved in assisting with rescues of large species such as deer.

I would definitely recommend volunteering with Blyth Wildlife Rescue. You get the chance to help wildlife, see species you couldn't normally get close to, and the volunteers are a really friendly bunch.

Remember The Baby Deer Code!
🚫 Don't touch. Don't move.
If you find a young deer alone, it’s not abandoned - mum is nearby. This is natural behaviour.
Observe from a distance and never pick up a young deer unless they are in immediate danger.

✅ Follow the BDS Baby Deer Code to protect wildlife this spring.

Your will is more than just a legal document. As well as providing for your loved ones after you’re gone, it’s an opportunity to leave a tax-efficient charitable gift to causes you care about.

When making your will, we’d be delighted if you would consider leaving a gift to Blyth Wildlife Rescue (charity number 1146891). Your kindness can have a positive impact on the patients we admit into our care each year.

For over 19 years, Blyth Wildlife Rescue has been here for all species. From songbirds to sea ducks, swans to seals, bats to foxes and much more in between. All are welcome in our hospital.

We rescue injured animals and rehabilitate them back into their communities, always treating them with care, dedication and respect.

A gift in your will to Blyth Wildlife Rescue is an incredible way to share your love of animals and leave a lasting legacy for British wildlife in need of help.

Gifts in wills are vital to all areas of our work, so any gift you give, whatever size, will make a big difference to the animals in our care.

By remembering Blyth Wildlife Rescue in your will, you’ll ensure that we can continue to be here for every wildlife casualty for as long as we’re needed, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Several weeks ago, we received an early morning callout to a roe deer road casualty in a Cramlington industrial estate. As with many deer casualties, we have to attend promptly at locations all over the region to ensure the safety of the animal and other road users.

We also have to attend incidents ready and prepared to euthanise any casualty that is suffering and not a candidate for rehabilitation.

With this particular individual, following assessment by two experienced attending medics, the female roe deer was given a lifeline and returned promptly back to the centre for further evaluation.

Having sustained a head injury and numerous wounds, the new patient was first stabilised, given fluids and left to rest in an isolation pen. Over the coming hours and days, further supportive treatment and medication was given and the deer, still concussed, showed amazing progress in recovery.

Further veterinary visits ensured the deer's treatment remained on track and that she was still viable for on-going rehabilitation.

After 18 days in care, we're pleased to report the deer was released earlier this week on a glorious spring evening.

Our medic team worked extremely hard with wound care, monitoring vitals and encouraging the doe to feed.

We also could not have managed to keep up with her appetite if it wasn’t for fantastic volunteers, who ensured a constant supply of fresh browse to eat! 🦌

Meet our first stoat kit of the season!

This little ball of fuzz was found alone in the middle of a road, birds circling him and weighing only 31g. With his eyes still closed, he is approximately just 2 weeks old.

Being so small and having such a tiny tummy, he is requiring round the clock feeding by one of our hand rearers. He has already started lapping milk and eating small pieces of meat - a really positive sign for a neonatal kit.

With dedication and experienced hands, we hope to see this tiny creature thrive into one of the most beautiful and wily animals our British wildlife has to offer.

Our Amazon Wishlist has been updated to reflect our current needs. If you would like to help us through Spring by purchasing some supplies for the animals in our care, please take a look at our Wishlist: http://tinyurl.com/blythwildlife! 🐣

Last month saw the arrival of our first fox cub of the season, transferred to our centre from a Hexhamshire vets.

We had worked hard throughout April dealing with a wide variety of fox related incidents, some including cubs. Unfortunately, many incidents and callouts were in response to members of the public not wanting fox cubs in their garden or local area.

It is often overlooked that whilst we are an animal welfare charity, a large chunk of our work involves dealing with the general public and managing the delicate nature of variety of queries.

As such, we had managed to successfully keep all fox cubs back in the wild as nature intended. However, the new cub had unfortunately been kept by someone in a way that led to the cub being imprinted on humans.

We deal with similar scenarios all throughout the summer period, with various animals being hand reared by well-meaning members of the public, but done so in a way that places the animal's entire future in jeopardy.

Our first fox cub arrived heavily imprinted on both humans and companion animals, having spent 2 weeks in a family home alongside family pets and the typical home environment - far from the ideal strict rearing conditions of a wildlife hospital.

The cub will continue to be a challenge for us as she continues her rehabilitation journey. It is paramount that we break the relationship she has formed with humans and build the foundations for the cub to then be joined by other foxes of a similar age. The cubs are then reared in strict conditions with minimal human contact in order to build social skills and hopefully erase learned behaviours from his previous care givers.

We're sure you'll agree the cub, now aged at approximately 10 weeks old, is an absolutely stunning individual. We will continue to work with the cub over the coming weeks and eventually introduce her to new cubs to continue the rest of her journey back to the wild!

On Tuesday, we received a call for a lone fox cub which had been found stumbling and alone in Tynemouth.

The male cub was brought straight to our centre for assessment. He was severely dehydrated and unresponsive. Our medic slowly warmed him up and provided fluids subcutaneously but with not much improvement we rushed him to Vets4Pets Morpeth.

After spending the afternoon at the vets, receiving fluid therapy and treatment, the fox was brought for home care and close monitoring.

The next morning the young cub was happily eating, drinking and walking around. As he was now stable he was transferred to our ICU to continue his rehabilitation journey with us.

We really couldn’t help as many animals as we do without the support from some incredible vets and vet nurses.

If you are able to, please donate to help us continue to cover our veterinary costs which are absolutely essential and life saving! 🦊

Spring has sprung at Blyth Wildlife Rescue with ducklings, fox and badger cubs, rabbit kits, songbirds and juvenile hedgehogs being some of our recent admissions.

If you find a young animal you are concerned about, the best thing to do is seek advice. Some species leave their young unattended for much of the day, some have fledged their nests, but some may need some support and help.

Please do not try to rehabilitate a wild animal at home. Quite often they need a full assessment, medication for pain or infection, particular diets, supplements and the right environment to ensure they do not become tame.

Always seek advice from a wildlife rescue or local vet if you are unsure of what to do.
