Calke Abbey has so many delights... extensive grounds roamed by the sheep, a Deer Herd, the House with its decay and tunnels, the Chapel, the Walled Gardens, the Wildflower Garden and the Car Park Bird Hide

All the flower shots here are from the Walled Garden and Wildflower wall and the wildlife from the Car Park Hide.

Snow Leopard: Twycross Zoo: 15th August 2019

SNOW LEOPARD

Twycross Zoo
15th August 2019


I love Snow Leopards, and am horrified at how endangered they are in the wild. As a member of Twycross Zoo i visit regularly and often spend as much time watching the Leopards as the rest of the zoo put together... Sitting in the cafe... a coffee... a flapjack... watching and photographing these animals.. perfect!!
