A shift with no co-ordinator – but brilliant teamwork! 🙂
Category: Animal Rescues
These are my animal rescues with the Animal Ambulance. My mission: to seek out new and old life-forms in distress and go out with my bald head and other team mates and rescue them.

A Gripping Pigeon and a Soaring Treecrawler
A pigeon asking me for help and an beautiful little treecreeper flapping his way to freedom!

A gruesome shift with evidence of cretinous humans (*growl*)

Hedgehog with a Head Wound Crawls to a Petshop
It seems hedgehogs have more head-sense than we think and know where to get help!
Homecoming for a Dog?
3 human finders, 2 animal ambulance crew and 1 energetic dog crammed inside a hallway. It was cosy – and it got me a faceful of dog slobber!
Nature Struggles with Christmas Coming
An opportunistic shift with a lost opportunity. But hopefully a robin red breast recovery in time for Christmas.
On the Road for Kittens, Cats and Cages
It’s not fun looking for a dead cat on the side of a road, but helping 2 kittens on their journey to find a family is!
