Guernsey Kingfisher released back to the wild by the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 09:54, 18th Sep, 2014 | 0

You may recall that last week we rescued a Kingfisher from the Model Yacht Pond in St Peter Port.

The female bird was exhausted and dehydrated and was the first of its species to be rescued by the GSPCA as far back as the team or records can recall.

She was named Deborah Kerr (after the actress from the 'King and I') and responded well to treatment so after 24 hours cage rest and what was a very quiet bird on arrival to a bird that was raring to go the decision was made to release her in a suitable location.

Oliver Marsh's 'Nice Bucket Challenge' for the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 14:26, 1st Sep, 2014 | 0

Today at the GSPCA a young lad called Oliver Marsh from Vale School popped in with a very nice gift for the Shelter.

He decided that instead of an ice bucket challenge and because he didn't want to get wet and cold that he would do a 'Nice Bucket Challenge'.

His 'Nice Bucket Challenge' consisted of a large blue bucket full of goodies for the animals at the GSPCA.

GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne met Oliver at Animal Shelter Reception and thanked Oliver for his wonderful gift.

Ridley was found in the Camp du Roi area and Fabian was found at L'Ancresse.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'This year we have seen more stray Tortoise than ever before.'
