Two days spent looking after our nephews Max and Jack.
Yesterday was Marwell Zoo. Not as good as I remembered it from a couple of
years ago and not as good as Whipsnade. Didn’t help as it was last of the school
holidays and the place was packed with yummy mummies and off-road buggies!!!
Snow leopards were good though, especially the cubs.
Today we only had Max and went first to Selborne, where
Gilbert White lived. He is known as the first naturalist nd certainly the first
bird-watcher. First to split chiffchaff, willow and wood warbler for instance.
Really interesting display in the house and quite child-friendly. Gardens were
nice as well, with some late phylloscs pottering around. Afterwards we went to
Thursley Common. Weather was really hot and it was pretty flat for birds. One
hobby over was about it. The boardwalk did have lots of common lizards, adults
and I presume juveniles. Must have seen upwards of 50 in all. Couple of record
shots below.
