AFTER a busy day yesterday dealing with the media and the sadness of losing the fight to save Freddie the seal, staff and volunteers at Orsett's South Essex Wildlife Hospital had their hands full again this morning (Tuesday, 23 March).

Seven tiny fox cubs were delivered came by the RSPCA who had collected them from a demolition site.

The hospital said: "The orphans not only lost their mum and their home but they are also covered in paint! The clean up will start now that they are warm and being regularly bottle fed."
