It has been an exiting time up at the Penguin Pool over the last couple of days, with more exciting Penguin Encounters taking place! Here are photos of the two most recent:
On Thursday 5th April we were joined by Jessica and Callum:
Then on Friday it was the turn of Ben and Holly to meet our lovely Humboldt Penguins!
Over the last week we had another two wonderful Junior Wildlife Experiences.
First we welcomed Cecilia Godinho from London, who visited the park on Thursday whilst on holiday with her family. She had a great time getting up close to lots of the animals but particularly loved the friendly wallabies!
Then on Saturday we were joined by Ella and Zoe. Their favourite animals included the meerkats, wallabies and our lovely California King Snake, Kaiser!
One group of ducklings were unfortunately abandoned by their mother, so the keepers had to step in to help them. They are currently being looked after in our incubation house until they are old enough to move to one of our outside enclosures. They will then spend a few weeks getting used to the outside world before being released out into the park!
Part two of the Blog sharing Wildlife Encounters enjoyed during the first 3 days of the Park being open for the 2012 season:
Yesterday morning we welcomed Aimee Davies as a Junior Wildlife participant– we’ve been SO lucky with this gorgeous weather – it’s been wall-to-wall blue skies and sunshine!
And last but definitely not least … Valerie Morris was our “Keeper for a Day” yesterday:
Why not book a close-up wildlife encounter for someone you love?
The Team is extending a warm invitation to all our friends, old and new, to come and join in the magic of close-up time being hands-on with our animals here at the Park this spring and summer …. we look forward to seeing you soon!
Well, what an incredible three days …. the Park only re-opened on Sunday …. and now it’s Wednesday morning, but SO much has happened already!! Seaview Wildlife Encounter has been really buzzing with activity – lots of beaming smiles on visitors’ faces – and a special appreciation for the “Wildlife Encounters” that have been taking place. I’m dividing the Wildlife Encounters of the last three days into two parts – so here’s part one!:
On our first day of re-opening (Sunday 1st April) we welcomed twins Mark and Rachael Nash as our first “Junior Wildlife Experience” participants of 2012:
On our second day of re-opening we enjoyed the company of Wendy and Courtney Durand and ‘Nanny’ Ellis who joined us for the first Penguin Encounter of 2012:
And on Monday afternoon cousins Cameron and Suzanne celebrated Cameron’s 8th birthday here at the Park by being our second Junior Wildlife Experience participants for the 2012 season:
Thank you to all our V.I.P. Wildlife Encounter guests for choosing Seaview Wildlife Encounter– we hope your disc of images will help you to re-kindle the memories of your bespoke, exclusive hands-on animal experience for always!
It’s not just the keepers who have been enjoying the weather this past week, lots of the animals have been soaking up the sun too!
Whilst we were busy with our normal daily routine and getting everything ready for the park opening on Sunday, the animals were relaxing in the lovely warm weather.
I managed to get a few pictures of the park and some of our cheeky characters, and was also lucky enough to see one of our new wallaby joeys out of the pouch!
