Hello again, it’s Lewis Cannon the Junior Journalist. On the 5th of April I made my Spring season visit for the Easter holidays. Spring is the season of new life and there are lots of new babies at Wingham Wildlife Park. Our first sighting of a baby animals were the goats, they’ve recently had 3…
This week my plan was to do a blog on spring. However, seeing what the weather has been like in recent days I may need to rethink my plan and do it on winter instead! Snow, sleet, hail, wind and rain, we’ve had it all haven’t we? Although, it’s not all bad as Spring is…
If you have been in our bug house, you may have noticed recently that we have some new much smaller white clawed crayfish. The originals that we held onsite from the 30th of June last year until a few weeks ago, have now gone back to their native home of Bristol. This has allowed us…
Last weekend we celebrated World Sparrow Day! A time to reflect on the decline of our humble sparrows. Why do I say spectacular? I think Sparrows are really underappreciated! Yes, at first some species may look like just another drab looking small brown bird, but when you look at them closely they really are subtly…

One of my favourite pastimes as a zookeeper is eves dropping on the public’s conversations about the animals in front of them. I do enjoy a little chuckle to myself when passing folk stop at the binturong thinking they’re looking at the moon bears or when adults in particular mix up the orange and black…
I don’t know about you but to me this year is starting to fly by, nearly at the end of February already! Where has the time gone? I wont complain too much as the evenings are getting lighter and the days getting longer. With spring time on the horizon, the 1st of March is fast…
Let me introduce myself: My name is Lewis Simon Cannon and I’m this years junior journalist (aged 8). I came to Wingham Wildlife Park on February 15th and met Leanne for the first time, she was very nice and friendly. It was a wet and windy morning. I begun my visit looking at the wolves….
