Thurso Aviary
Over the past few years there has been an increase in the number of injured birds brought into Highland Council's Ranger Service and the local veterinary surgery in Thurso. At present there is no facility on mainland Scotland (north) where birds can be held until fit enough for their release or for transporting to a sanctuary that can provide longer term care. To overcome this problem the Caithness Branch of the SOC have successfully raised money and have built the aviary. We would like to thank the following for helping us to make it happen.
Aviary - breakdown of funding:
- Lottery £1656
- Rotary £100
- CWS £450
- Sponsored hill walk £103
- Norfrost and Merrimas £59
- Sponsored birdwatch £40
- Surgery collecting box £29
- Sinclair's books £10
- Donations to R.S. and interest £65
