The North East Wildlife & Animal Rescue Centre is the largest wildlife rescue in the north of Scotland. An independent Charity, based just outside Ellon, Aberdeenshire, we take in large numbers of orphaned or injured birds and mammals every year.

Wildlife rehabilitation: We have many years experience hand-rearing orphan birds, and dealing with orphaned and injured mammals, with the intention to release them back into the wild when they are fit and able.
Since we started in 2006 we have rescued and rehabilitated over 16,000 animals and birds. We have a 24/7 service, offering advice and assistance, and an Animal Ambulance to take us out and about when we are able

On such a soggy morning, we thought this would be fun... What is Kenny saying to Dolly?
After a few days with us, Drummer Girl went back to where she was found, she seemed happy to go, and our hands will recover in time lol. Thank you very much to Drum Garage for bringing her in and being there for the release
We thought you would like to see how Drummer Girl got herself into a tangle with a lorry. She was in shock when she arrived but amazingly nothing was broken
For anybody that wonders if hedgehogs can climb, this mum had climbed into a wheelbarrow with a nice cosy bed of potting compost to have her young. It wasn't going to be, a safe place for her or them so they are now doing well with us. You need to be careful if you find a hedgehog nest as disturbing then or handling the young often causes the mum to abandon or even kill their offspring, so please call your nearest wildlife rescue for advice if you need hedgehog help
