During the busy summer holiday period, we made a brief visit to Wild Touch Wildlife and Rescue Centre, hidden away in Ridlington near North Walsham. Formerly the base of the Seal and Bird Rescue Trust, the day to day running of the centre is managed by a committed, caring team. A host of injured and increasingly abandoned creatures are looked after through the course of the year. Birds are probably the primary occupants, including gaudy looking Muscovy ducks, with scarlet bills.
In addition to this, Wild Touch provides an outreach educational service, with displays and animal encounters for organisations and personal events. Animals can also be trained for roles in film, photography and other art forms.
Detailed training is offered to animal aficionados with time to lend a practical hand. A group of ladies swapped dealing with insurance in Norwich to happily muck in renovating the enclosures ~ home to a menagerie of sedate serpents, plucky geese, sprightly deer and lively hens.
