awsome day out :)

We had a wonderful day out visiting an otter & owl sanctuary - amazing to get so close to wild animals.  We arrived at feeding time - the little yellow chicks were a little grim, at least they were dead.  There were Asian, European & giant Amazon otters. 




All were incredibly playful and the sizes varied quite considerably.






There was a lovely herd of fallow deer - two of them had been hand reared, so you were able to get quite close - very bambi :)
