STAFF at Secret World Wildlife
Rescue had a busy week last week as a number of rare birds were brought into
the centre as harsh weather conditions
hit Somerset.
Animal carers at the centre in
East Huntspill saw a number of lapwings, plovers and woodcocks which were badly
affected by the snow.
The wildlife charity says birds
are at greater risk of starvation and injury during periods of bad weather, and
freezing temperatures can stop birds from feeding in their natural habitat.
A number of woodcocks, which
normally feed on insects from the woodland floor, were also taken into the care
of Secret World Wildlife Rescue last week.
