We love Pets Corner. They had a little table set up with a craft activity for the children which was brilliant. I hope this continues in school holiday times as the kids loved it.

There was a tidy but satisfying collection of different species, mainly birds who have arrived in their care it seems mainly through rescue. Volunteers were doing the rounds of the enclosures to feed them and it was sweet to hear and see their passion in doing so.

Please donate to them!!!! They deserve donations for their work there and we are really proud and happy to have stumbled...
