Animal rescue groups

The seals, Sal and Bean, go back into the sea after being rescued in November 2025.

A charity gets 10 new kennels and two isolation rooms to help expand its work.

A rescue group in Chigwell is overwhelmed and has to rely on rehoming support in Cornwall.

There have been only a handful of sightings of the nightjar in Northern Ireland since the 1950s.

One shelter told the BBC it has hundreds of animals on its waiting list and is running out of money.

Mallydams Wood, near Hastings, says it is seeing more seals arriving earlier than normal.

The Hampshire-based rowers were 895 miles into their journey when they found the distressed animal.
