Welcome to my channel. I'm based in the UK, mostly creating videos at local animal parks and farms at the moment, although I do visit other local attractions and film in nearby Stratford-upon-Avon.
I originally came back to YouTube with this new channel, after a long absence, for old friends who had asked me to return. I now have an extra reason to be here which is to help Cotswold Wildlife Park in their Lemur conservation out in Madagascar, and to support Twycross in buying enrichment items for the apes - all proceeds will go to these causes, I don't keep a penny.
I am now fully monetised and have made the first payments so thank you to all who helped that happen.
I'm not interested in sub for sub type channels, certain content I can't watch so please don't sub and expect an automatic sub back!
Hope you enjoy my videos.

A Black Swan has moved onto the Avon in Stratford-upon-Avon. She was in Bidford-upon-Avon last year. I have no idea where she's from, and she doesn't have leg rings. Black swans, of course, are native to Australia.

For World Bonobo Day.
This is Lola ya Bonobo, looking after orphaned Bonobo children when their parents have been slaughtered for meat.
Bonobos are only found in the Democratic Republic of Congo, one reason why they're going extinct.
Please watch.

I was putting £30 in the lemur fund (used directly in Madagascar) box which is half of the last payment from YouTube, when ruined to see this little fellow looking at me. He said he wanted to thank everyone who has donated and watched, Happy Valentines from the lemurs ❤️

This is what conservation zoos do, and this is why we need to support them. #zsl #conservation #conservationzoo

It's taken me 5 months to get my latest payment from YouTube of £60.70, but I've used half of it to get the two remaining spiral kong feeders needed. The rest will be going to Lemur conservation projects in Madagascar run by Cotswold Wildlife Park. Thank you everyone who has watched.

The "Oumbi" statue - apparently management never mentioned this to the Keepers when they decided it would look good outside the gorilla house at Twycross.
Imagine being a Gorilla Keeper coming to work and that's sitting there glaring at you...😆

Happy 30th Birthday Tommy, wish I could be there today.
Tommy is still separated from the main group, but he has Jomar and Kibali for company. Hopefully, they can all be reunited without Tommy getting hurt again. ❤️

Female Sumatran Tiger, Daseep, at Dudley Zoo - I'll be sharing some pretty awesome footage, and I don't often say that. She was flirting with the male and I got to see tigers courting for the first time ever. Utterly beautiful big cats. #tiger #sumatrantiger #criticallyendangered
