On Wednesday (22/07/2015) I visited the British Wildlife Centre in Surrey. It is a really nice collection of native British Wildlife in enclosures that are fantastic from the animals’ point of view. The collection has all Mustelid and Owl species that are found wild in the UK as well as 13 rodent species along with four deer species, two reptile species, shrews, foxes, buzzards and a few others.

Many thanks to all for the heart-felt wishes for success and safety - ... read more

Off to Heathrow in a couple of hours or so to begin the weariness of international travel. Next entry on here is likely to be when I return to the UK (perhaps the 19th) unless I unexpectedly find some method to update this along the way.... read more
