This is what it must feel like to be a tree! This hand-reared #redsquirrel is fully recovered & back outside in aviary. Hopefully she'll revert to wildness for spring release. @argatyredkites @ScotSquirrels @NeilMcIntyre3 @SquirrelAccord @RobertEFuller @WigtownBookFest

Such great news - at long last

Raptor Persecution UK @RaptorPersUK Sep 25, 2024

EXCELLENT NEWS!!! Scotland's landmark ban on snares will commence 25 November 2024.

The ban will be immediate, no 'phase-out' period.

Well done to all those campaigners who have worked for decades for this result 👏

If they could, wild things all over #Scotland would be in deep mourning over the loss of the wonderful & brilliant Gay Christie - huge sympathies to Andy - you both did/ do so much for our beleaguered #wildlife #rehabilitation @hessilhead

Hugh Warwick @hedgehoghugh Jun 6, 2024

It is with great sadness that I have learnt of the death of Gay Christie. She was an animal champion. Co-founder of Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue, she worked tirelessly to help wildlife - especially #hedgehogs. To help her work continue: justgiving.com/hessilheadwild…

Grim news - the need for a vaccine is now desperately,desperately urgent @ScotSquirrels

Dr Craig Shuttleworth @Welshsquirrels Jun 3, 2024

Just heard there is yet another squirrelpox outbreak in Cumbria. Yet another... This time, West Lakes area where the local volunteer group have been doing a great job reversing red fortunes. We need an oral squirrelpox vaccine to protect reds from this awful disease!
