Submitted by GSPCA on 10:52, 22nd Feb, 2012 | 1

Every year the GSPCA rescue and rehabilitate sick and injured wildlife from discarded rubbish and litter.  This morning we had an adult Gannet brought in tangled in fishing line. Found by kind States workers in Petit Bot the bird would have certainly died if they hadn’t rescued it.

Currently being freed from its bonds this poor bird was tangled from head to toe. Gary as he’s been named once free will be checked over fed and we will ensure he is tip top before release and we are hopeful for a good recovery.

How cute is the now named baby chick Sandra?  Literally only days old little Sandra was found yesterday in the South East of the island walking around with no mum in site.

Now in the GSPCA care we will look after and rear her until she is of an age to find a new home.  Sandra has asked us to let everyone know that she would like to update you on her developments and how she grows.
