Birds like ringed plovers, that lay their eggs on the beach have been left relatively undisturbed in recent weeks - that changed on Wednesday. If you're headed for the beach please walk on the hard sand, obey signs and put your dog on a short lead. Pic: @PatrickNorris1

A broken extractor vent on a property in Amble this week lead to a Starling making a nest in the extractor tube, which then became blocked with nest material. We attended to remove the dryer unit and tubing to access the nest and safely remove the nest to hand rear the nestlings

3 of 4 Mute Swan patients at the moment seen here inside a shed enclosure with outdoor pen area, choosing to stay inside out of the sun - great for the birds, not so great for cleaning the brilliant white PVC walls several days later!
