We have a couple of 'wildlife centres' close to us that I've visited by wouldn't return to - the biggest problem was that they have a lot of British nocturnal creatures which isn't much good when they open in daylight hours only !!Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-35781430595749294702010-09-28T10:38:47.791+01:002010-09-28T10:38:47.791+01:00Also meant to ask if you have been to the British ...Also meant to ask if you have been to the British Wildlife Centre at Lingfield, Surrey? I can thoroughly recommend it. I did a very reasonably priced photography day there in 2008 and went inside the enclosures of the foxes, scottish wildcats and otters and was able to get good photos of many other species too. Of course they are British species only so no big cats but still a wonderful place.

We have a small centre near us which is in apalling condition and in my opinion should be closed down. Dirty, overgrown enclosures, scummy water and rats running around under the birds feeders. After seeing it about 2 years ago I have refused to go back, it was upsetting to see animals in those conditions.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356343192166945179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-72721121868133635122010-09-27T19:25:17.002+01:002010-09-27T19:25:17.002+01:00That's very kind Sue and I will definitely be ...That's very kind Sue and I will definitely be in touch some time.
