Birdland

A very wintery February started with a trip to Birdland in Bourton-On-The-Water in the Cotswolds. This compact bird collection proved to be a real gem. Whilst the site itself is quite small, it packs in around 500 birds from all over the world. Species include Macaws, Parrots, Penguins, Owls, Birds of Prey, Wildfowl and Waders. Many of the more exotic birds were clearly not enjoying the Arctic winds today, however the Snowy Owls seemed to positively beam with joy (see the picture below).
One highlight was watching the King Penguins being fed in the snow!
