Les Stocker The Wildlife Hospitals Trust in Aylesbury is unique: the Stockers, in their small house with typical suburban garden, take in all kinds of injured and sick wildlife, from puffins to hedgehogs. They take infinite pains to cure their patients and, as the book shows, have a high success rate. Whenever possible they release the amazing stories of just some of their visitors. Amongst them, Purdie the kestrel has raised two broods of chicks now at the hospital; several badgers could not be saved, but others - like Brock and Bridget - were returned to the wild; Vix, the defiant vixen, was allowed to escape, but voluntarily returned to her saviours; Bambi the fallow deer was revived from the brink of death; many hedgehogs have taken advantage of the accommodation at St Tiggywinkle's special hedgehog unit; recently barn owls have been released to live and breed in London.
