Earnley Butterflies, Birds and Beasts

Today, Jen, Ffion and I went to Earnley Butterflies, Birds and Beasts near Chichester.

We both enjoy photographing butterflies in particular so this promised to be a real treat. We were not disappointed, and in fact were quite impressed with the whole place as it also had a large area of free flying birds, one of which was rather cheeky, a reptile rescue centre, a selection of farmyard animals plus various exhibits to look at.

This bird was trouble!

After landing on Jen’s feet, he proceeded to explore my foot and then set about tearing chunks of leather off of my sandles!

It then pearched on Jen’s arm for a while, much to Ffion’s amusement!

After this, we explored the rest of the centre. They had hundreds of tortoises!

The farmyard animals were popular with the children.

These two were getting quite grumpy with each other:-

And then there were the talking birds. This fellow was as cheeky as he looks!

And then of course there were the beautiful butterflies:-
