Another hedgehog in this evening, we have a steady intake of hedgehogs, both Hoglets and adult that have gotten into trouble.

This little girl got entangled in goal nets, please lift the net when not in use.

Notice the swollen leg on the right, it is badly swollen all the way up. To add insult to injury, it was covered in flystrike. An hour later she is cleared of tiny maggots and eggs, and has had supportive treatment. Hopefully she will be ok but at the moment she is sleeping on a heat pad.

Please be careful when putting up fences. If you are using the plastic covered fencing with 3 inch gaps, please do not use it near the ground, this fairly big hedgehog was found stuck in the fence. Its leg was stuck with its head and some of its upper body. It is unknown how long it has been stuck and it is very reluctant to move its leg.

Thankfully a neighbour was looking to put his own fence up otherwise who knows how long it would have been before it was found.

On the 16th September we got a call about a swan “stuck” between East Bridge Street and Wellington Street on Lough Erne.

When I went to check on the swan I saw it had fishing twine coming out of its mouth, it was also entangled around its body, leg and wing with the twine, as well as it being anchored to the tree where the twine was hanging from. He managed to break away and went under the walkway where he continued to try free himself.

John came down in his boat and after giving us a good run around, Frankie managed to cut off the swan’s path and we were able to catch him in the reeds.

The twine was tied round his tongue down his throat. Lesley, John and team at Fairgreen Vets came to the rescue and the twine was removed.

After a night of B&B here he was released back to Lough Erne after being ringed, so we can see if he turns up again.

Many thanks to Gerry who noticed it in trouble and looked for help for him; John for your patience and boat skills; Frankie for your help in catching him and for removing the remaining twine and hook from the tree; Trevor for coming down to help catch him in your canoe; and Lesley, John and team for removing the twine.

Please retrieve and dispose of your fishing equipment as it causes unnecessary suffering to wildlife.

Thomas started helping with transporting wildlife for Dooletter but this year he has been busy rescuing, transporting and fostering all sorts of animals.

This little collared dove was badly injured, Thomas collected it and has been treating it for a few weeks. Today he got to release a fully recovered and healthy bird. 🥰

Thank you for all your hard work and getting this little one back to the wild 🕊️

Baby season continues 🦔 🐇

These all came in from disturbed nests, a digger unearthed the rabbit kits and surprise surprise a strimmer caused the hoglet’s disturbance, unfortunately it was the only one seen after the fact.

An adult female came in a week ago after being attacked by a dog and she sadly aborted her babies so please be careful around your gardens / fields etc there are still nests with young out there.

We have some fantastic news! 🎉

Dooletter Wildlife Rescue has been granted two street collection days in Enniskillen Main Street on Saturday 1st August and Saturday 15th August, from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

We’ll be out with our collection buckets raising much-needed funds to help us continue rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Every donation, no matter how small, really does make a difference. ❤️

Can you spare an hour or two to help?

We’re looking for friendly volunteers to help with our collections throughout the day. Even if you can only give an hour of your time, we’d be incredibly grateful. No experience is needed—just a smile and a willingness to support your local wildlife rescue!

If you’d like to volunteer, please send us a private message or comment below, and we’ll be in touch.

If you’re out shopping on either Saturday, please stop by and say hello—and if you’re able, pop a donation into one of our buckets. Your support helps us give our local wildlife a second chance.

Thank you, as always, for supporting our rescue. We couldn’t do what we do without our amazing community. 💚🦉

This year there have been some unusual rescues, this is a juvenile dipper who was caught by a cat.

It had a broken non displaced bone in its wing which healed well. Thanks as always to Kieran Corry & O’Hare Vets

As you can see it was very happy to be back in the wild again.

Thanks to Debbie for ringing it so if it turns up again we will know it’s history.

Thanks to Sam, Tanisha and Amie for returning this amazing buzzard back to the wild.

She had been with hit by a car and it was witnessed by a lovely lady and her son, who immediately stopped and carefully lifted her. She went to Sam for urgent care and was x-rayed by Kieran at Corry & O’Hare Vets. After a short stay here and being given the all clear by Kieran she was released near to where she was found.

Please be on the look out for wild animals needing help, none of them are free from getting flystrike / maggots.

This tiny barn swallow had loads of hatching fly eggs in its mouth and the little fox had them around and in her a**s, literally eating her alive.
We have had loads of hedgehogs and other birds covered in flystrike.
