Friday afternoon (my last day in the Cotswolds) I returned to Bourton on the Water. Walking into the village, I decided to visit Birdland Park and Gardens, a lovely smaller zoo (for birds), and spent the afternoon there.
They have penguins, King and Humboldt, and I spent quite a bit of time of time at that exhibit, including a feeding time and zookeeper talk.
See below for penguin pics (and video) and a few other birds as well. Enjoy!
