SECRET World Wildlife Rescue is welcoming the first orphans of 2022.

It has been a late start for orphans this year, but a baby bunny and leveret (a young hare) have arrived for their foster care.

The centre has been very busy with swans this year which has meant stringent protocols because of the current Avian Flu outbreaks.

Pauline Kidner, Founder and Advisor to the charity, will be giving a talk at the Princess Theatre in Burnham-on-Sea on Friday 18th March at 7.30 pm.

She will be talking about the work that they do and the history of this well-known charity.

The second half of the evening will be with Chris Sperring MBE of the Hawk and Owl Trust, who is also a patron of Secret World.

All proceeds go to the care of the wildlife casualties at this local centre.

Tickets are available from the Princess Theatre on 01278 784464 or online at www.theprincesstheatre.co.uk.
