WILDFOWL FEEDING FRENZY AT LOWER LAKE!

Despite having very generous visitors who help to feed the many wildfowl (ducks, geese, swans and guinea fowl) at Seaview Wildlife Encounter, the Animal Care Team still feed all the birds every morning and evening. This includes residents and temporary residents – most of the wildfowl are free to come and go as they please (most choose to spend the bulk of their time at the Park where they’re safe and there’s plenty to eat!)

I followed Tara Hayter, Head keeper and Education Officer) down to the lower lake yesterday afternoon to make the most of the early Autumn sunshine and capture a couple of ‘feeding frenzy shots’! Tara looked just like the Pied Piper as all the wildfowl followed her down to the lake!
