Forgot about these.

Last week we took two of the grand children to Trotters ,which is only about 3 miles away from us. It is in a very peaceful setting close to Bassenthwaite. As well as the outdoor animals there is a reptile house and a group of hawks and eagles which take part in daily flying displays.

During the previous week the bald headed eagle called Bill (after Bill Clinton) flew off during a display and disappeared north over the Caldbeck Fells. The keeper went out following sightings to relocate him to no avail. They reckoned they had driven nearly 600miles looking for him. Imagine their delight, just 2 days later, when Bill just flew back in to his keeper, right in the middle of a  display!
Meerkats are just so fascinating and just never seem to just flop.Always on guard ,digging or playing.

Hi Rosalind, You are very lucky to have such a great place nearby to visit. I guess its a private zoo?
My daughter and fiancee are zookeepers at Melbourne Zoo in Australia. I so love to go and see their animal pals. Happy Stitching .chrisb
