Zoos-based Rankings of European Countries

[squirrelmonkey]

I struggle to believe that you have never heard of this given that its correct name is Castle Espie WWT,whilst not the largest of captive collections it is certainly a place that does some series breeding for the size of the collection,and its wild reserves are probably my favourite to visit out of all the WWTs!

Now if they have a Bull Shark I need to get over,but I would suggest what they actually have is a Bullhuss also better known as a Nursehound!

I have never heard of castle espie as i live around 90 miles away from it, and yes you are correct, it is a Nursehound.

Well 90 miles is a damn site closer than I live to it,as I have to fly to get to it and have yet visited it 3 times.Also 90 miles is nothing for a days run out to a good collection!!
