From a wooded small holding near Beith in North Ayrshire, Scotland, we rescue, repair and rehabilitate injured birds and animals for return to the wild.

Our facilities include a small hospital building, recuperation aviaries, releasing pens and veterinary support. We hold a Department of the Environment licence for treating birds of prey and operate a 24-hour rescue service. Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Trust is a registered charity, number SCO 04506.
