There is some tree damage at the east of site on the visitor path. It's a very large tree so we will be keeping this area closed until we can get a tree surgeon in to make it safe. Thank you for your understanding, we will remove this alert once the area has reopened.

Otter health check

Musa and Mimi, our Asian short-clawed otters, are due to have their annual health check on Friday 13 June (but fear not, they ain't superstitious!).

During their medical MOT, they'll be putting to good use the skills that they have learned with their handler Owen; who has taught them to roll onto their backs in preparation for examinations and scans without the need for anaesthetic. Very clever.

Unfortunately this means that they'll not be here for their usual morning talk at 11.30am and potentially the afternoon slot at 3pm. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause you during your visit.
