More Of Our 2025 Transports...

A Nestling Wood Pigeon...

• Pigeons are one of the most persecuted & under appreciated creatures in the UK, but I think they're fantastic.  I've shared about this youngster before: his finders called him Cuthbert.   He & his sibling fell from their nest into a canal, on 4th June this year, near Manchester.  Cuthbert's sibling very sadly drowned but Cuthbert clutched onto a stick long enough for humans to be able to scoop him up.

  
  

  One of our big hearted Drivers, Conor, rushed to pick him up and drove him, with a heat source to warm him up, to Brinsley Animal Rescue, where he went on to be successfully raised & released.  Merry Christmas, Cuthbert! ☃️

Injured Sparrow Hawk...

• This stunner of a Sparrow Hawk was transported from a members of the public, to Vale Wildlife Hospital, on 11th August 2025.  Our fab Driver, Molly, kindly got him to Rescue.  He'd been found the day before with a left wing injury and kept overnight in a Wendy house, we were told, until we were reached out to, the next day... 🪶

Tawny Owlet...

• On 28th June 2025, this young Tawny Owl was transported from the fab Brinsley Animal Rescue to Emily at RSPCA Oak & Furrows, so that they would be with other young owls, for ongoing rehab & release.  A huge thank you to Liz Cormell who drove the youngster - along with an injured Peregrine Falcon, who required specialist care at a local Avian Vet - from Nottingham to Swindon. 🚗

Nestling Wood Pigeon...

• I think that this baby Wood Pigeon, who the very kind Martin Cox transported to the brilliant Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital, on 29th May 2025, is one of the sweetest creatures ever!  So tiny & yet so feisty & brave.  I love having records of past cases like this, knowing that this feathery person got a second chance... 💫

A nest of 6 baby Rats...

• This nest of 6 baby rats was found dumped in a box, outside, on 16th July 2025, & taken to a fantastic Vet Practice, Henlow Veterinary Hospital, in Bedfordshire.  This Vet Practice are very wildlife friendly and we have transported quite a lot of animals from them this summer.

These baby rats caused quite a lot of conversation amongst a few Wildlife Rescues, whilst trying to determine whether they might be wild or domestic.  In the end - as it was very hard to tell, at such a young age - the wonderful Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital took them in (transported there by our UKWT Driver, Catherine Sells) to raise & release if wild, and to be passed to a domestic rat Rescue, if they turned out to be domestic.  [During this same transport, Catherine also took a little catted Blackbird to Tiggywinkles too, from the Vet Practice, for ongoing care].
