Cotswold Wildlife Park

We took Callum up to the Cotswold Wildlife Park on Good Friday and had a lovely day. Although the sun was shining, it was deceptively chilly. We saw plenty of animals and an opportunity for me to put into practise what I'd learnt the weekend before (no pressure then!).

Here's some photos from the day ... a Bactrian Camel camel close up!

Jon and Callum really liked the falconry corner ... they had a Canadian eagle and we were glad this wasn't flying around when we were there ... it could have Callum for breakfast!

They've had White Rhino there for about 30 years, so they tend to spend much of the time sleeping!

Unfortunately for us, they don't feed the penguins on Fridays so we missed that spectacle (Jon made sure we were well away from the Tarantula house at the time of their touch-and-feel sessions too).

The Siamangs (chmp-lookalikes) were great fun to watch. There was a tiny baby there too, clinging to it's mummy.

Although the banana trees were hibernating, there were some stunning flower beds with very vibrant planting.
