Chilean flamingos off show

Our Chilean flamingo flock is currently being housed indoors. This is a temporary measure as a precaution to avian influenza (bird flu). We will let you know as soon as they are safe to be outdoors. Thank you for your understanding.

Down at the duckery

21 August 2015

Our duckery is home to a number of young waterbird species at the moment, from little fluffballs in the indoor rearing units to larger ducklings growing up fast in the outdoor pens.

So if you pay a visit, through the duckery windows you can see:

6 ringed teal ducklings

4 white-faced whistling ducklings

3 Meller’s duckling

And over the road at the outdoor nursery are:

3 red-crested pochard

3 Baer’s pochard

4 Eurasian wigeon

1 Meller’s duck

1 red-billed whistling duck

3 Northern pintail

Splendid stuff!
