Happy September and what a lovely cornish morning it is. This painting is from my 30 day challenge in June, I love to do these 30 day challenges as a way of learning more about something or honing my skills in a particular area of my life. September has 30 days so what can I do? Well I thought I could re share these images and with each one mention a different animal or bird related charity,...so the first will have to be the Mousehole wildbird hospital this is what they say OUR AIMS The Hospital accepts any bird in need of care, land or sea, to heal and return them to the wild. If this not possible and they take kindly to captivity then they are given sanctuary for the rest of their lives. Those beyond help are painlessly destroyed. During each year approximately 1,500 birds are treated at the Hospital. Plus, on average 100 permanent residents. We have 4 full time members of staff caring for the birds 365 days of the year in the same tradition as Pog and Dorothy. We are open daily to visitors and admission is free although a donation, no matter how small, is always welcome. Without the help of a caring and sympathetic public we could not keep this open
