February and early March update
In February half-term we had a week when friends from Surrey came down and helped us to prepare the park for the upcoming season. This involved clearing parts of the woodland and other general maintenance . A huge thank you to all of them!
In early March we received a female Otter cub, that was found in Wadebridge which we have named Lola. She was found on the side of the road, she is recovering as she is extremely shy and was very thin and dehydrated. We hope to introduce her to Ellie in the near future.
On the subject of Ellie, she has had a very eventful few weeks. She is now living with Asian Short Clawed Otters; Biggy and Smalley and their Dad; Raymond, they all get along. However they can take advantage of her if there is food involved, but as long as a keeper is around at feeding time she is fine.
Dasher is now enjoying the sunshine that is just starting to come back to us after the cold winter months. He is now almost an internet star, he is on Youtube, but I’m not sure it’s had many views!
Our Silver Pheasants will hopefully gain a little more attention this year as the males are sure to catch a few eyes with their stunning plumage. This is because they were only little when we were last open.
Next month I will include a late March update as well as an April update so keep an eye on this page!
