Hamerton Zoo

We decided to visit Hamerton Zoo yesterday as it was a pretty dull and grey day which would make wild bird photography difficult. Hamerton has improved the facilities for  Cats with larger enclosures all of whom looked very lean and content. It would be great if small zoos like this could concentrate only on some families as I don't find the facilities for the lemurs, monkeys etc so pleasing but unforutnately to get funding for their conservation breeding programmes they need to attract a wide public.

 

Meerkats and Red Kites

The three Red Kites that visited Hamerton Zoo yesterday for their tea did not go unoticed by the Meerkats who watched their every move. The kites swooped down and removed a chick from the large stork enclosure.
