Series following the work of the SSPCA’s wildlife rescue centre. April struggles to hand-rear a herd of roe deer fawns while also looking after a newborn hedgehog.

Series that goes inside the Scottish SPCA’s world-leading wildlife rescue centre.

It is the busiest time of year, and the number of orphaned animals being admitted has reached record levels. April is bottle-feeding tiny roe deer orphan Petal, but when she is also given the task of looking after newborn hedgehog Piglet, she needs to call Chloe and Nicola to help with the mothering duties.

Meanwhile two osprey chicks have been admitted to the centre. One appears to have a problem with its leg, which means it will have to take up residence in the centre for the winter, but the second bird soon recovers and is ready to be released just in time for the autumn migration.

Nicola and Sheilagh also have their work cut out building confidence in nervous baby weasel Warren!
