Wildlife Hospital
The wildlife hospital was opened in 1989 thanks to a major donation from the readers of the Daily Mail along with support from dozens of other businesses and individuals. Several hundred Grey & Common Seals have since been treated in the hospital as well as many other animals including an oiled House Sparrow that had fallen into a chip-pan and a Bearded Seal from the Arctic. After treatment and a period of rehabilitation all the animals that can fend for them selves are returned to the wild. The seal and the sparrow both made a full recovery and were released (to the Shetland Isles in the case of the seal) but those that cannot are given sanctuary here.
The hospital has a number of viewing areas which can be opened up ( if the animals are well enough )so that visitors can see How the injured animals are doing
