Renovation Works for New Arrivals...

During the bad weather in March, new Cranes arrived from a specialist breeding facility in The Netherlands. Female Grey-necked Crowned Crane and the rarely seen Wattled Crane, will form new pairs with males already at the Zoo. Work is underway to replace their old enclosures near the entrance. This was scheduled to be completed by Easter, but the appalling weather has delayed our plans - and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused whilst the birds are in their temporary accommodation; and the work should now be completed by the May bank-holiday. As the Park is continually expanding and old enclosures being replaced, there is always likely to be a digger or other machine busy at work. Our work is never done, and the Zoo is not either - but this does mean there will always be something new and fascinating to see!
