This common pipistrelle bat, which was found in Shilbottle suffering from trauma and dehydration, is now being cared for at our wildlife hospital. It may be small but it’s quite feisty, eating mealworms and responding to treatment.

Our rescue work doesn’t stop over the festive period. We have still been looking after the animals in our care and going out on rescues.

This kestrel was released from behind a car grill by a local garage. It was taken to our wildlife hospital to be assessed and is recovering well. It is due for release in the next few days so it’s a lovely outcome for us all.

As ever we continue to need funds, so should you wish to show support then please consider making a donation.

You can donate by texting BLYTHWILDLIFE and an amount to 70085.

Today we’d like to pay tribute to our amazing team of volunteers. Being a volunteer is a demanding task, so thank you for contributing so much of your time, energy, and efforts to it. It would be impossible for us to continue our work at Blyth Wildlife Rescue without you, so thank you!

Thank you to everyone that has supported us throughout the year. It means a great deal to us and is much appreciated.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas filled with peace, happiness and celebration, and all the very best in the New Year

From Blyth Wildlife Rescue and all the volunteers.

In the spring we were called to collect a female hedgehog and her new litter as they had been handed in to a veterinary practice.

The best place for a healthy, new hedgehog mum to be, is in the wild. As the four hoglets were newborn and their nest had been disturbed, we decided it was best to place the new family with one of our hedgehog fosterers.

This allowed minimal contact with the hogs while providing food and a safe place for them to be - in a pen, in a garden. Cameras were set up to monitor them and allow us to intervene if necessary.

After a few weeks of mum eating well, we got to see the first time the hoglets left their home to experience the outside world for the first time. The run was then opened so they could come and go, and they were supported with food & water. Then after a week or so they had all left of their own accord.

We hope you think they’re as adorable as we do 🦔.

Meet the team!

We have a variety of roles at Blyth Wildlife Rescue. Usually, volunteers start as a Casualty Collection Volunteer, which sometimes leads on to working at our intensive care unit and aviary.

Today we are introducing you to Suzy! Suzy started working with us 3 years ago and has now received training to enable her to help clean, administer fluids and look after the patients we have in our care, whilst still collecting and rescuing animals in need of help.

We asked Suzy what she thought about volunteering for Blyth Wildlife Rescue, this was her response!

“I got involved with BWR because I kept finding injured hedgehogs and herring gulls where I lived and contacted BWR to help, and then saw they were looking for collection volunteers so I asked if I could join.

I don't think I have a favourite animal but I really enjoyed mastering the capture of a heron from a slip road on the A1 who gave me a good run around up an embankment!

My most memorable experience was a swan and 5 cygnets to be rescued on the A1. I was first on the scene and the sense of responsibility to get them off the road to safety was intense. I've loved rescuing swans ever since.

I’d recommend volunteering 100%. It’s an amazing feeling to know you are helping - even in a small way- the wonderful wildlife we have. You learn something new all the time and get the opportunity to progress your skills. Everyone at the charity is lovely and very supportive of everything you do. It’s amazing being part of the team, it's like having another family! If you love animals, want to support and help, I say give it a go, it’s very rewarding!!”

We think you’ll agree, Suzy is amazing ❤️.
