Letter of the Week from Ex Keeper Holly

Hi Everyone, 

Glad to hear the season went so well, can't believe how fast the time is going! 

I have some awesome news I passed my exam and assessment drive so I am now officially a qualified FGASA Level 1 nature guide. I start my placement at a place called Cradle of Life on December 1st. It's a Bio Park with a park and reserve area it looks absolutely beautiful. They have Tigers, Lions and other cats there so I am super excited! 

Here is the website so that everyone can have a look at what its like. http://www.cradleoflife.co.za/

Send my love to everyone and give Jacob a cuddle from me, I bet he's grown! 

Here are a few more photos,

2014 SEASON COMES TO A CLOSE

Lovely card and presents for the staff dropped in on our last day of opening
 
" This is just to say a big thank you to the WHOLE team at Seaview. I have had so much pleasure from having my season pass this year and part of that is down to the amazing team of staff as well as all the animals. Coming here is like stopping the world and getting off, just for a few hours.

A big thank you to the animal care team who made my Keeper For A Day such a brilliant experience and of course Sally (it wouldn't be the same without you)

Hope to see you all next season - Merry Xmas and Happy New Year "

Chilean Flamingo Update

We now have an incredible eighteen Chilean Flamingo Chicks that have hatched so far this year at the park!

They are a range sizes and can be seen out daily exploring the enclosure with their parents.



They are born with a white fluffy baby plumage which is gradually taken over by larger, grey feathers. Their beautiful Pink feathers only start to appear when they are nearly a year old, and it’s only at three to four years of age that they have their full adult plumage.



Once the chicks have are old enough to leave the nest, they group together in a crèche which is supervised by an adult. Here they can socialise with one another and keep safe!

Seaview Wildlife Animals in Action!

The photographic opportunities here at the park are superb, and so each year we run a photography competition to find the best photos taken by our visitors!
 
Seaview is the perfect place to get snaps of your favourite animals, all within an unspoilt and natural environment. 

For close-up, clear studies of animals and birds, photographers will be pleased to hear that most of the Park's enclosures have "camera flaps" - these allow for unhindered photographic images - with no fencing or boundaries in the way.


The theme for this year is “Animals in action” where images can show animals on their own, in groups or interacting with a Keeper or visitor – as long as they are action-orientated!

Here is a sneak preview of some of the fantastic entries we have had so far:
