The Red Arrows

I know this isn't wildlife but I just wanted everyone to see these pictures and videos that I got of them.  The Red Arrows haven't done a proper display at Shuttleworth for 30 years!!  We are standing in our garden taking these photos because they were flying over our house.

Meercats

I have always loved meercats and the way that they stand up and watch for danger so I just think that they had to come on this blog for their cuteness.

Birds

These are most of the birds at the Zoo.  Feel free to name the ones I haven't named and correct the ones I have named (if they are wrong of course!).

Sea-lion splash

The sea-lion show is a very popular thing at the zoo and we watch it each time we go.  There are three main sea-lions and they quite like to splash the little children.  Bailey, the oldest female has just given birth to a baby called Oscar who likes to sleep.  

My favourite part in the sea-lion show is where the sea-lions jump up and touch the balls.

At the Zoo they have built a new giraffe viewing platform so you can get at the same height as the giraffes.  This giraffe was the only one who wanted to come outside.

CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every time I have been to the Zoo I have never encountered a baby Mara.  At first there was one feeding and then came another one out of the nest and that one started to feed as well.  I think they are really cute and I want one as a pet!
