Jersey Children Learn All About Barnacle Bill During Special Online GSPCA Talk
The GSPCA was delighted to join Year 1 pupils at St Saviour School in Jersey for a special online talk on Tuesday 9th June, where the children learned all about the remarkable rescue, rehabilitation and release of Barnacle Bill, the young loggerhead turtle whose story captured the hearts of islanders and supporters around the world.
A new regional group has been formed under the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) to bring together animal welfare charities across the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The ADCH Islands Regional Group, led by Steve Byrne, GSPCA Manager and ADCH Regional Co-ordinator, held its first-ever meeting last month, marking a significant step forward in collaboration and shared learning.
Yesterday for the first time in 5 years the GSPCA were able to return Jersey rescued seal pups back into their home waters thanks to Condor Ferries and all involved.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Yesterday was the first time since 2019 that we have been able to return Jersey grey seal pups back into the waters from where they were rescued.”
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager gives an update “This mornings loading of the 4 Jersey seal pups thanks to Geoff, Danni and Luke went extremely well.”
“They were all loaded safely have made on to Condor Ferries who were extremely kind in helping with the transport in getting Jersey seal pups back to their island for the first time since 2019.”
“We are looking forward to the updates from Geoff and the BDMLR team on how the rrelease goes this afternoon and thank you all involved.”
This afternoon the 4th Guernsey poorly grey seal pup was rescued and second this year from Fort Doyle.
Dolly as she has been named is the 8th seal pup to come into our care this season making it the most ever seal pups we have ever had at one time.
