Flamingo chick

We took our new car for its first proper drive today, and spent another lovely day at Pensthorpe Nature Park.  The staff at Pensthorpe are (justifiably) chuffed that they recently hatched a flamingo chick.  And we were chuffed to get a chance to see it.  It looked a little unsteady on its feet at times, though I'm amazed at how sturdy its legs looked, at only just over a week old.

We also saw a very small red squirrel that must be one of the kittens born this year.  And lots of colourful ducks and geese.

We were lucky to have excellent weather, and the forecast is reasonable for tomorrow, so we hope to get another good day out.
