If you find any animal in distress, in danger or in trouble, please do not leave it alone suffering and probably facing a terrible death. You can report it and get help or advice about what to do (or not to do). You can be the difference between life and death for creatures in need.

Get in contact with your local wildlife carer or your vet, having their details can be very handy.
