A charity operated by dedicated volunteers and vets, committed to the rescue, treatment and rehabilitation of injured swans and wildlife across Yorkshire.

One of the sweetest little patients we’ve welcomed into our care in recent weeks is this tiny leveret (a young hare), pictured here upon first arrival. She was found on a residential street after it was believed she had been carried and injured by a dog before being dropped onto the tarmac.

A trip to York for one of our rescuers earlier today, for a swan reported to be carrying some fishing tackle. The bird was quickly contained, and a small hook located in his tongue which was safety removed along with the attached line and weights. The bird was returned to his mate a short time later

Earlier this week, we came to the aid of a swan at Roundhay Park after reports that the bird had a large amount of fishing line protruding from its beak. Thankfully, our rescuer was able to safely remove the line, and the swan was promptly released back onto the water, none the worse for its ordeal.
