Our second visit to the British Wildlife Centre<\/a><\/strong> exactly one year on from our first visit.\u00a0 Callum’s choice for a day out so he must have enjoyed the place to want to bring his best friend along.<\/p>\n\n\n

Entry fees were \u00a310.50 for an adult and \u00a38.50 for a child.  We had lunch there – a sandwich, packet of crisps and a drink each came to \u00a312 for the three of us.  Travel wise, if roads are clear it should take about 90 minutes (although that is M3\/M4 and M25 dependant!!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of the animals housed here are rescued or injured animals that have been rehabilited.  Some are too used to human interaction to be released back into the wild.  Every half hour, there is a talk about one of the animals at the BWC – we missed the Red Squirrel chat as this takes place at 10.30am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first port of call was to the Red Squirrel Enclosure – apart from Brownsea Island and the Isle of Wight, there are no Red Squirrels in the wild in the South of England (only Scotland and the very North of England).  They were quite quiet so we headed around to the small mammals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Callum and his friend just loved watching the weasel and the stoats whilst I spent time watching the snakes.\u00a0 There were plenty of other animals to see. We were lucky enough to see a badger and a pine martin too.<\/p>\n\n\n
