TWYCROSS ZOO

One of the best things about membership of Twycross Zoo is the fact it gives you free entry to several larger zoo... the other benefit is that you can pop in for an hour or two when the mood strikes.. as with todays trip!! 

No trip however is complete without a chance to look at the Snow Leopards!

Calke Abbey Bird Hides : 21st January 2020


CALKE ABBEYTicknall, Derbyshire
January 21st January
Calke Abbey is a great place to visit for bird watching, this visit included my first visit to the more recent hide in the Explore area. It is different in nature to the car park area and is a good place to see Reed Bunting and Marsh Tits... and if lucky a Water Rail... I was not lucky!!
