During the wild and woolly weather of recent times members have been very busy with the rescue, care and release of many animals, birds and reptiles. Sadly some have not been able to be rehabilitated and have either died whist in care or have had to be euthanased.

Veterinary Surgeons very kindly examine and treat all Australian Wildlife for free. We owe a huge debt of thanks to the vets in this region.

Severe weather conditions during the early part of 2009 saw a lot of seabirds blown off course and found in most unexpected locations.


A number of White Tailed tropic birds were found in the Hastings and Kempsey areas.

These birds come from the Ashmore Reef area and one was located at Comboyne, well inland from the coast.

A number of Flesh Footed Shearwaters were also blown ashore. These birds are indigeneous to Lord Howe Island.

As you can see from the picture the work with Pelicans is not a clean job at times.

The pic shows the seabird rescue coordinator, June force feeding a Pelican that was ready for release.

This an essential part of release as it gives the bird a chance to find its way before having to search for food. The bird had been in care and recovering from Botulism which is yet another threat to the survival of the species.

Injuries to Pelicans has been of major concern considering the number of calls received in relation to the number of birds in the area.

On the Hasting River at Port Maquarie, where there is an average of 95 birds - more than 30% were injured in one year, including 5 deaths.
