Birds

If you find a baby bird on the ground it is unlikely to have been abandoned and you could do more harm than good by ‘rescuing’ it. Please follow the advice on the RSPB website here.

Royal Society for the Protection of Birds

Hedgehogs

If you find a Hedgehog out in the daytime or an injured or sick one at night please contact Prickles Hedgehog Rescue Centre in Cheddar, 07806 744 772.
