BWC Photo Comp: "Animals in Motion" Shortlist

Animals in Motion has always been one of my favourite categories of our photo competition, and this year didn't disappoint. We had a lot of entries, and a lot of variation this year too, but finally came up with the short list below of ten photographs.

As with the other categories, the winners will be selected by professional wildlife photographer Danny Green. If you haven't yet already, please do go and have a look at his website. I promise you you will not be disappointed that you did, he truly is one amazing photographer and will inspire you to get out there to take more photographs of British wildlife.

Christmas Opening

Here's hoping you all had a great Christmas, and enjoyed spending time with your family's, and opening up all the loot that Santa brought you!

Just a quick reminder to you all... we are now open every day until the 5th of January! Why not come and see us all if you need a break from the festivities, need to walk off the Christmas dinner or want to show your visiting relatives what we are all about.

Then from next year, we are now open every weekend of the year!

Hope to see you soon.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you all from us all at the BWC.

It has been a wet and windy past week, but we have been working hard on our new aviaries and planning out other new things for 2014. More details will be revealed as the year progresses, and of course we still have the short lists for the final three categories of the photo competition to be announced.

For now, have a great few days over the Christmas period, and if you need a break from it all remember... we are open from the day after Boxing day for 10 days, and then every weekend throughout the year.

See you after Christmas!
