Morning came round too early – I must be getting old ! Lisa isn’t very well so we are short staffed. It’s a good job we have a few work experience here helping at the moment.
The little fox cub looking better but still very thin
The fox cub that has been so poorly is looking much better and the signets have really grown.
Everyone has been busy taking down tents and clearing away rubbish. Thankfully the heavy rain on Saturday soon dried with the sun on Sunday so not too much damage was done to the grass.
Yet another call out to a deer in a road traffic accident in the afternoon which Judith attended and took a volunteer with her to help. It was local and they were soon back here but again the injuries were such that it was beyond help with a badly fractured leg and internal injuries. They are such majestic animals, it seems so wrong when they are unable to help themselves. Thankfully at least we can stop their pain.
Chaela’s wound is now nearly completely healed and is dry. I have taken up the sheets in their pen as that they can now be on straw or hay. They both spend quite a bit of time out side and this evening were in the fawn shed with all the others – a bit crowded – 2 red, 1 fallow and three roe but they all get on well.
Freckles and Chaela spending more time outside now.
It’s just gone past 10 p.m. and I’ve just had a call to a badger stuck in a coal bunker near Wellington. The house owners have been away on holiday and have only just got back and it looks like it has been there for a few days so I think it ought to come in for a check. Graeme is on lates tonight and is sorting it for me and Leigh is on late shift here so is going to stay up to take the casualty in when it arrives. I’m off to bed!
