Shaggy:

19/04/2012

Well after a week relaxing around our pool the shag has been released. After a moments hesitation he took to the water and swam off without a backward glance. Another heart warming success story from ARRC.  

11/04/2012

This shag was found near the Mount by the SPCA's inspector Jason who was called to its aid after a member of the public noticed a fishing hook stuck in his mouth. Jason managed to removed the hook but he had severe damage to his beak and tongue and he was in poor condition as he'd been unable to eat properly for days. Jason took the shag to ARRC's co-ordinator Sue who is currently rehabilitating it. "Shaggie" loves to dive for fish and is making great progress. All going well he will be released later this week.
