This week I’ve found it difficult to decide what to write this blog about. Not because I was stumped on ideas but because I actually had several ideas up my sleeve! However, I think there’s one topic you’d like to be updated on since his arrival at the park. It just means my other topics…
Last week we finished celebrating Volunteers Week which takes place every year from 1st-7th June. Volunteers are an important part of our team here at Wingham Wildlife Park. I even think most of us started our Zookeeping careers as volunteers at some point or another. It’s amazing how many people love to donate their time…
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. What if I told you that there was something you can do to your garden, flowerpots and baskets that could directly help wildlife? Instantly! What if I told you that it involves doing nothing? That’s right, nothing. It involves sitting back putting your feet up…
28th April is National Superhero Day and what makes a good superhero? Well, super powers of course! While we consider all the superpowers we could possibly have, many animals already have some. Ok, so I’m not talking X-ray eyes or laser beams but they’re still pretty amazing. Naturally, I’ve got to look at my own…
Hey guys, I would like to introduce you to our common palm civets, max and ken. These boys aren’t at the park yet and are currently living at SWP, awaiting their brand new enclosure at WWP. I’m excited to share with you their personalities to help you get to know them a bit before their…
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…
Hi, my name is Bethany and I live in North Kent, nr The Medway Towns. I have visited WWP since I was little, normally several times a year. I also watched my Nan feed the tigers here too, just before the pandemic. This is why I was so excited when I found out I would…
Hello friends, I hope you are surviving January! Its nearly over, we got this! I have an update for you on some of the training that’s going on in the park. (If you want to check out my progress from previous blogs you can find them here). Orangutans A few updates on the orangs! They…
Happy New Year to all! As the weather is getting colder, it’s easy to daydream of warmer climates and think about future holidays or past trips.
