SARAH AND BABY 10/9/2012

Picture
Mother & Baby were rescued about 2.30pm from an area behind Soldiers Point Bowling Club being cleared for residential development by Annie & Clive, June & Doug.

The Contractors, who were carrying out the work, spotted them and called for assistance. They were located in the branches of a fallen tree about 4 meters from the ground.

With a bit of gentle persuasion they were forced down to where they could be grabbed and placed into the basket. Not without some screaming, struggling and biting.

We took them to Don, who confirmed that the Mother had not been microchipped and that they were both in sound health.

Mum was named Sarah after our 4yr old granddaughter in Canada who loves all animals. She was microchipped and relocated to  a nearby Reserve.

Cheers  June
