    Story

    In just the past few months 2 dozen birds were reported to BOPH. Sick, injured or orphaned, these are not just any birds, they are all Birds of Prey. Raptors are species of the UK often only glimpsed. Hawks, falcons and Owls, 20 different species live alongside us.

    Responding to call outs from Public, Vets or the RSPCA, we support, advise, collect and administer care voluntarily. Personal time given in the commitment to prevent suffering and ensure return to the wild where possible.

    And... of those 2 dozen most recent birds, Kestrel, Buzzard, Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Red Kite - 8 were too hurt or sick to heal, they received prompt care and pain free attention. However 16 of these birds were supported by BOPH with safety, protection and Veterinary care and plenty of good food,
    ALL were released back to the wild.

    Why?... Because human needs and our development of open space effects biodiversity. Also farming is efficient and agricultural growth intense. The wild luxury of habitat for insects, mammals and birds is no longer so easy to find and will need serious consideration in the future. As David Attenborough announced 4 years ago in the State of Nature Report, anticipated species loss is something only WE can help avoid.

    This appeal is to help the volunteers of BOPH to do their job even better, providing a hospital environment, replacing boxes and crates with purpose made aviaries and release pens. Giving wild injured Raptors the quiet and equipped surroundings, supported by the best veterinary care available.

    BOPH is a tiny voluntary non-profit project in an ocean of Charity that now forms our daily life. Part of the project is to provide nest boxes for Barn Owl but most of our time is becoming filled with the immediate response to injured, sick or orphaned wild birds of prey.

    We only ask that if you want to help, then join the team, invest in BOPH and help us help our Wild Birds of prey.
