The Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital in Mousehole, fou

The Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital in Mousehole, founded by the remarkable sisters Dorothy and Pog Yglesias, who dedicated their lives to saving wild birds, is nearly 100 years old. This is an image from the hospital in 1955 with a carer tending to an injured seabird.

There is an event tonight which includes presentations, refreshments, a beautiful short film (Skyward) by Jessica Bishopp and 1920s-40s music with Jollity Farm. For more info check the link in bio.
