Wildlife organisations and rescue centres
Secret World Wildlife Rescue
If any wildlife you are concerned about requires emergency medical care please contact Secret World Rescue on 01278 783250. Based in Highbridge, Somerset. Open 8am to 8pm, 365 days a year.
Bats
See comprehensive advice on what to do if you find an injured bat and other useful information on the bats.org.uk website. The National Bat Helpline is 0345 1300 228
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.
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. They will send someone to collect it from you, nurse it back to health and return it. Please also send in reports of your sightings via the contact form on this website.
