Echidnas become more active in Spring and more come into WIRES care during this time.
This young female echidna came into WIRES care after she was found wandering around after heavy rain most likely washed from her burrow. She was flyblown, waterlogged and still dependant on her mother’s milk.
WIRES NR received a call from Ken of Ruthven after he noticed one of the resident Wedge-tailed eagles was on the ground and didn’t fly off when he approached.
WIRES was called in to rescue a rare spotted-tail quoll caught in a trap that had been set for feral cats in Erskine Park.
This newly hatched Macquarie turtle went on a very long journey for one so young. The turtle was found on the floor in the toilets of a Macksville service station, no bigger than a 50c piece. The truck driver who found it thought someone would step on it so he thought he'd call WIRES. Unfortunately he called WIRES at the end of his journey in Sydney and it went into the care of Kerry in the north shore branch.
