A baby tawny owl was among the animals which died after incubators lost power in a storm
Staff at a wildlife rescue centre have been left "heartbroken" after a dozen animals died following a storm.
Mansfield Wildlife Rescue, in Pleasley Vale, near Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire, takes in injured and abandoned animals and is currently home to at least 200, including a young deer and garden birds. "It was heartbreaking when the volunteers came in that morning and they're faced with that," she said.Among those that died was Ozzie, a baby tawny owl who was only about 14 days old.
Ms Martins, who has been rescuing animals for about 30 years, said she was looking into the possibility of installing solar panels to keep incubators running should the power cut out in future.
