There is just RSPB in Ballycastle but they are closed, probably will be tomorrow too with the Public Holiday…
Tried a rescue centre in Co Down asking if they had any contacts up here but unfortunately they didn’t

Have you tried the USPCA?

Yes, office closed at 7pm today… If the bird is still there and makes it through the night I will try USPCA in the morning

The only alternative I can suggest is a Vet, bound to be one covering emergencies, would likely euthanise but at least poor bird would not have to suffer any more!
