The session is set for Wednesday 23rd April 2014 at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Zoe Le Pelley from the Guernsey Bereavement Service will lead the talk on the following subjects:
This January for the second time WEA are teaming-up with the GSPCA to provide a comprehensive course that not only provides essential information for pet care but tackles the wider issues of wild animal welfare in Guernsey.
The first course started in September and has the it's last session this evening and was a sell out so please book your place early.
Every week the classes have been interactive and full of experiences and discussions about animal care.
The course subjects include:
Today Shelter staff and volunteers had the pleasure of a local expert in Gulls give a talk on their movements, the tracking of them and their behaviour.
Paul Veron who has been ringing birds since 1976 and has rung over 53,000 himself since starting has a wealth of knowledge that he shared with the GSPCA team before they started their work.
Paul talked primarily about the movements and ringing work of the Herring Gull, Black Back Gull and Lesser Back Gull all of which breed around the Bailiwick.

The GSPCA staff would like to extend a huge thanks to the Guernsey Bereavement Service.
Volunteers from the Guernsey Bereavement Service Lesley and Clive kindly gave up two afternoons recently to spend time training staff and talking to the team about the challenging work that the GSPCA are faced with every day.
The GSPCA rescue, rehabilitate and rehome thousands of animals every year but the team are faced with daily situations that are often upsetting and extremely sensitive.
During June 5 staff got the chance to learn from some of the leading animal welfare organisations in the UK and meet many from around the world.
The GSPCA are part of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes which is an organisation made up of hundreds of animal charities from around the UK. In a recent meeting after speaking to a member of staff from the Dogs Trust, Lorna Prince our Welfare Manager was invited to take part in their week long International Training Programme.
Do you get anxious or scared if there is a dog nearby?
Do you avoid places or situations because of this?
Would you like to change this?
If you have answered “yes” to these questions, then an event on Saturday 21st April could be for you.
The GSPCA in collaboration with the Health and Social Services Department will be running a half day Dog Phobia Workshop at the Animal Shelter.
