On sturday I visit birdworld. Its a zoo of mainly birds (as you probably guessed!) and along with many foriegn species, it also had a few that are found in the wild in the UK. So as this is the UK wildlife blog I figured I better keep to just them 
first up is this beautiful tawny owl
first up is this beautiful tawny owl
They had a heron/wader/waterfowl enclosure in which I saw my first shag, but it was asleep so the photos wern't very good. I did photograph this avocet
and this shelduck though
Outs ide was a small waterfowl pond with a smew
and a wood duck going into eclipse
There were a number of wildbirds around including jackdaws
and the trees nearby contain a heronry, and herosn could be seen scattered across and flying over birdworld. SOme were even doinf cattle egret impressions
