Wow what a week! It started off really well when I had a conflict management course on Monday - may seem boring, but it was excellent! Really interesting and we did self-defence techniques, which is always useful to know in this line of work - you never know who's out there!
I somehow managed to miss a call on the TWR phone during this time & gah! Due to issues with Orange's server, I couldn't get into my answermachine! Long story short, this was finally rectified on Thursday night.
The answerphone message was from a local veterinary surgery! They'd had a kingfisher given to them (no details re what was wrong with it). Anyway, it seemed fine and they needed it to be taken for rehabilitation. My first thought was actually one of slight concern - kingfishers are so difficult in captivity because they usually won't eat for themselves. All the same, I rang them this morning and, as suspected, they'd found somebody else to take the kingfisher but thanked me for getting back to them.
So TWR is growing! I have a VET who's contacting me now! How super cool is THAT! It makes me feel like a professional rather than an idealist - mucho happy!
