Ellesmere Port : I was walking to a friends house at approximately 21:15 on June 27 2010 and came across a hedgehog lying on a grass verge along Summertrees Road Ellesmere Port when I approached the hedgehog it would appear that there was no wounds on the animal as if it had been in an accident with a motor vehicle but possibly that it could of been because of the adverse weather conditions recently in england. What would the best advice be?

Cheshire: A fox has been found in the wareshouse were I work. It doesn't seem to bother about the human presence and is very comfortable lying on boxes and pallets the problem we have it is pooing and urinating on floors and pallets and i don't think our customers would be very happy to know a fox is in our warehouse, our manager is getting a pest control company in to destroy the animal, is this legal and isn't there another solution? (when i say destroy, shot it).

Aigburth Liverpool: We have a family of ducks in our back garden - all very happy with my pond measuring about 9'x10' to a maximum depth of just under 4'. The adult ducks have been visiting our garden for the past 4 years but it was only last year duckling appeared. We think most of them died due wandering off through small gaps in the fence and our garden having sloped areas around it. This year the ducklings have matured - all 5 of them and they have been with us for nearly 3 months. All appear to have 'flight' feathers and are about 3/4 of size of the adult female. I have read that ducklings need a good span of water to learn to fly so I'm now worried that they won't move on. They are happy to eat the many snails in my garden but when the mother disappears for a while they quack and squeek at an unbelievable pitch! Just want to know if I should leave them to mature and work it out for themselves or if I need to intervene - and if so how?

Scunthorpe, North Lincolnsiret: Hi, I've just rescued a pigeon from our road. It's pinky/beige/grey in colour with a black band on the back of its neck. Apart from it missing two tail feathers it seems pretty chipper and is eating and drinking. However I have cats here and they are not good companions for birds. The RSPCA here don't seem interested. Please can you advise me of a wildlife/bird centre close to here that might take it on and won't use it to feed owls or other birds of prey. Thanks.
