Wildlife Advice Centre

Not every animal needs rescuing. Find out when to observe, when to help, and when to call for specialist advice.

Our individual species advice sheets and posters are being reviewed before publication. Please contact us for guidance in the meantime.

Urgent wildlife concern? If an animal is bleeding heavily, trapped, struggling to breathe or in immediate danger, contact a wildlife rescue or veterinary practice promptly. Do not delay seeking help to follow website instructions. Contact Sompting Wildlife Rescue for help.
