“RYAN” GOSLING: Carol Limpkin imparts some news. A few weeks ago one of K-9 Rescue Remedy Trainers, Kirsty, picked up one of the new little goslings that was unable to walk. It was clear that he could not walk or keep up with the other goslings, so Kirsty took him to the village hall where a member of East Sussex Wildlife Rescue Ambulance Service was on hand. WRAS was called and the little gosling was picked up, whisked away for a full veterinary assessment. ‘Ryan’ gosling as he is now known at the sanctuary, was doing well in his last report and has been moved to the Swan sanctuary to fully recover.
