These Are SOME Of Our Bath & Bristol 2025 UKWT Cases...

These case studies are from Amy who has been doing some co-ordinating in the Bristol and Bath area this summer. This means that she liaises with UKWT Drivers to get wild lives to suitable Wildlife Rescues, with previous vet examinations where appropriate...

Case Study: Betty

This gorgeous young Badger found herself at a Vet Practice in Bath.  She was underweight and very poorly but they did an amazing job of stabilising her then reached out to UKWT. Our fantastic Driver, Autumn, was able to set off immediately and this special young lady was transported with her IV to the team at RSPCA West Hatch Wildlife Centre.  Cases like this are such a reminder of the unique role UKWT plays in being able to get wildlife the care they need efficiently.  Another life given a chance that it otherwise may not have had.

Case Study: Smee

Smee was a Gull saved in a complex river rescue by Bath Swan Rescue volunteers. He presented with an eye ulcer so advice was sought from a UKWT wildlife consultant at RSPCA Oak and Furrows, Emily Elliott, who offered to take him in and provide his complex care. UKWT Driver, Julie, was amazing and took him, alongside a Gull Chick with a minor leg injury, for vet assessment and then onto Oak and Furrows for their longer term rehab.

Case study: Aslan

This little lovely was named after the lion statue he was found next to. He had fallen from a nest too early and wandered into a shop. He was so thirsty/hungry, he tried to drink from the cleaning solution bucket they were mopping the floor with. The owner kindly provided fresh water and sought help. When a volunteer from Bath Swan Rescue arrived, he was being attacked by a territorial adult gull so was swiftly secured and enjoyed a much needed snack. Tony, one of the fab UKWT Drivers, got him safely to Cuan Wildlife Rescue where his minor beak injuries could heal and he could finish growing up before release back into the wild.

Case Study: Tiny

Tiny was a VERY late hatching gull chick who found herself at a Vet Practice in Bath. Our lovely Driver, Molly, was able to keep her warm and get her promptly to RSPCA Oak and Furrows. Lots of other Gull Chicks were already flying/fledging at the time Tiny was found and she now has a chance at a long life thanks to UKWT’s prompt efforts.

Case Study: Daffodil and Dragon

These two Welsh sweethearts were found in a hay bale that had been accidentally moved the day prior without knowledge they were in there. This was an incredibly time sensitive situation but thankfully the kind finder kept them warm and Volunteer Driver, Nigel, was able to get to their aid quickly. They arrived at Gower Bird Hospital safe and sound and now have a shot at life.
