I have just had a great trip to Shepreth since February and here are the changes I noticed:

The Wallaby Walk-through is no longer there, The signs for Red Necked and Parma Wallabies have been removed and they are no longer on the map. It seems they have left the collection.
The map now shows Donkey in that large space.

On the new map, the Alpacas are also listed in the large paddock as you enter the park, they are currently in their normal exhibit opposite the Capuchins. The map also states a new species coming soon for that exhibit.

I didn't see the Genets and they weren't signposted so I think maybe another species gone as a Wildcat was in their exhibit closest to the staff area and the nest box is now for Prevost's Squirrel.

The Prevost's Squirrel are very active and a great addition to the Wildlife park.
 
Had a nice morning at Shepreth today

Nothing much to report, only that the 3 Alpacas have moved to large paddock at the entrance whereas the 2 Donkeys have moved into the former Wallaby walkthough area.

The former Alpaca paddock is currently empty with a lot of fresh wood bark and willow ready to go for a new species.

Today was the 2nd trip that I haven't seen the Pardine Genet so they must have left the collection.
