Back at the Centre with only six weeks until we re-open we have had a very busy half term week. Our working party group from Surrey the Browns, Reaveleys, Tresize and Creasey families all came down and we got a lot of woodland work and other maintenance jobs completed. There is a lot of truth in the saying "many hands make light work" Big thank you to all of you for the help we really do appreciate it.
Dasher is doing extremely well and finds us every day for his handful of monkey nuts and a tickle behind the ears.
The Kestrels aviary has been renovated and they seem to like the changes that have been made. The Scottish Wildcats appear to have settled in and they really do look great up in the quarry area.
Biggy, Smalley, Tor and Libby are still all in together they have made an awful mess of their enclosure so we will be moving them out soon so that we can carry out some essential maintenance. Biggy and Smalley are two years old now but they still enjoy the interaction from the Keepers and Tor also gets very inquisitive. Libby is still the shyest of the four but does come out for her food and we see her playing with the others but she disappears back inside once we get too close.
Carmens cubs Kernow and Coady are a year old this week and they are both bigger than their Mum but very relaxed around the Keepers. Harriet Tamarisk and Lottie are seen daily playing together in the water; Harriet always has an eye on Tamarisk and soon puts him in his place if he steps over the line.
William Hilda and Pluto are all getting along very well, Pluto certainly has his Mothers personalty and hisses at the Keeper at feeding time until he has four chicks then he will go away and eat them.
We will keep you updated on Cinnamon and Leap.
