It has been a very unusual Easter Bank Holiday this year at the Lake District Wildlife Park. It was quiet without friendly visitors interacting with our animals. We missed chatting to familiar and new faces, seeing families eating their lunch in the sunshine, and the laughter of children exploring the adventure playground. We really missed you.
However, life for the Keepers and the animals that they care for continues as normal. In fact, there is a definite hum of excitement in the air as we prepare for opening again on 12 April. And just maybe some of our animals can sense this too! Frosty the Citron-Crested Cockatoo is very vocal, practising his “Hello” to welcome anyone who walks past. The Kookaburras are laughing, and Nobby the Gibbon is practising his singing and dancing!
