We were busy dealing with pups that hadn't coped very well with their propulsion to independence. By all accounts, the past 2021 breeding season was a record breaker in Norfolk. We had a steady spring, and we continued to work alongside our other partners with general wildlife rescue. Most cases were transferred to East Winch Wildlife Centre. We do, of course, rear a number of ducklings each year, and convalesce some other wildlife that are more straightforward and do not require as much intensive care. Unfortunately, Avian Flu reared its head throughout the year which caused complications with getting help for birds, particularly marine species that were generally higher risk for Avian Flu, Norfolk being in the epicentre of the outbreak. With the East Winch Wildlife Centre closing to admissions, and most other wildlife facilities also ceasing their avian intake, this did cause several issues for rehabilitation, and harder triage was our next consideration. We received some ‘out of the blue’ donations throughout the year for which we were very grateful. We also received some cheques from donors who had carried out some of their own fundraising at the end of the year. We were very fortunate to benefit from a grant via the Douglas and Joanne Chapman Animal Trust. We are extremely grateful for this grant which was put towards the purchase of a necessary piece of equipment to help move larger entangled seals. We have not assisted with as many entangled seals in 2022, at the point of writing this report, we are planning to mount rescue attempts for several adult seals that have appeared on the radar recently. The Common seal pupping season was relatively steady. Unfortunately, these lesser abundant seals seem to be really up against it, during the summer, we still attended many poorly pups with various ailments. Most recover after a stay at the seal hospital. At the point of writing this report, the Horsey Grey seal colony that now stretches from Waxham to Hemsby has broken records with births of pups in excess of 3,700! The continued surge in the population really has kept us busy. We envisage the colony to continue extending further along the coast. This year we welcomed Tony Chapman to the rescue team. Tony had assisted with another seal welfare organisation but wanted to join our group and has done exceptionally well throughout the year. We want to recognise this in our annual report and also reference that we are looking to further gain volunteers to the rescue team and add equipment on the rescue side of things. We still intend to be a small team with a high attention to detail and excellence, and to have more volunteers to carry out our increasing workload in 2023. This should improve our efficiency and prevent delays in attending some of the D Goldsmith Chairman Page 1 **MARINE AND WILDLIFE RESCUE** ## **GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** |**CHAIRMAN:**|D Goldsmith| |---|---| |**TREASURER:**|S Simpson| |**TRUSTEES:**|D Goldsmith| ||S Simpson| ||W Talbot| |**ADDRESS:**|Marine House| ||Marine Park| ||Gapton Hall Road| ||Great Yarmouth| ||NR31 0NB| |**ACCOUNTANTS:**|Juler Tooke| ||Lothing House| ||Quay View Business Park| ||Barnards Way| ||Lowestoft| ||Suffolk| ||NR32 2HD| Page 2 **FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’ REPORT TO** ## **MARINE AND WILDLIFE RESCUE** In accordance with instructions given to us we have prepared the accounts without carrying out an audit the annexed financial statements from the accounting records of the Marine and Wildlife Rescue and from information and explanations supplied to us.
