点评:We were on holiday at the nearby Haven Wild Duck and my partner overheard a family talking about this owl sanctuary. Knowing how much I loved owls he looked online to see how far it was, found it was very near and so we decided to visit.
The place is right next to a garden centre and flea market so as well as looking at the owls you can do some shopping if you wish (we found lots of little gifts to buy!).
The sanctuary itself is really good. It is free but you can give donations if you wish. There are a lot of owls there, more than I expected actually, and they all looked like they are well taken care of. A couple of young ladies were walking round with an owl each, you can hold one if you want to for £5. They were very knowledgeable and told us lots of information about the owls. I think the first lady told us that they look after 40 at the sanctuary! There is also a very cheeky parrot on site that is able to talk. My children spent ages saying hello to it and it was just looking at them doing nothing. As soon as we walked away it shouted hello 😆.
Overall this is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
翻译:我们在附近的Haven Wild Duck度假,我的伴侣无意中听到一家人在谈论这个猫头鹰保护区。他知道我非常喜欢猫头鹰,于是上网查了距离,发现很近,所以我们决定去看看。
保护区旁边就是一个园艺中心和跳蚤市场,所以除了看猫头鹰之外,你还可以顺便买点东西(我们发现了很多小礼物可以买!)。
保护区本身非常棒。免费开放,但你也可以捐赠。那里有很多猫头鹰,实际上比我预想的要多,而且它们看起来都得到了很好的照顾。几位年轻的女士每人带着一只猫头鹰四处走动,如果你愿意,可以花5英镑抱一只。她们知识渊博,给我们讲了很多关于猫头鹰的信息。我记得第一夫人告诉我们,保护区里有40只猫头鹰!保护区里还有一只非常调皮的鹦鹉,它会说话。我的孩子们花了很长时间跟它打招呼,它只是看着他们,什么也没做。我们一走开,它就喊了声你好😆。
总的来说,如果你在附近,这里非常值得一游。
