Wales - Birds and Mammals

[smallhobbit]

Bosherston Lily Ponds are part of the Stackpole Estate, and having visited the Walled Garden we went for a walk around the lakes, which leads down to a small beach.  All very pretty, even though the lilies weren't out yet.

On our walk we saw a cormorant enjoying the peace of one of the lakes, and then, at the beach there was a heron.

 

Picton Castle includes the Welsh Owl Garden and Zoo.  We arrived in time to see Freddie the otter being fed.  We then wandered round and I took a blurry photo of Speedy the Skunk.

 



There was also a polecat called Bear.  (A cousin of the Ferret, his favourite activities are sleeping and eating.)



Later in the day there was a flying demonstration with Elsie the eagle owl and two barn owls.

Freddie the otter was waiting for more food! The eagle owl was very impressive - we saw her fly - such a large bird and so quiet.

More stunning photos! I especially like the one of the cormorant and all your owl pictures. It's great that you were able to see so many animals during your visit to the Welsh Owl Garden and Zoo.

Thank you very much. We were pleased to see the cormorant and really enjoyed watching the owls fly.
