Path closures and Chilean flamingos off show

Due to the current weather conditions, parts of our site are closed for safety. Please ask on arrival which areas are accessible that day. Our Chilean flamingo flock is also 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.
