I visited this lesser known collection today, near Norwich, in all honesty just to tick another collection on my to do list. I certainly wasn’t expecting this but the farm is littered with interesting and unique waterfowl, most of which were lifers for myself (unfortunately the signage was few and far between so I shall post some photos for ID in the gallery). The most interesting of which in my opinion included the likes of steamerducks, which I had spent a good while trying to see in Köln, unsuccessfully, and yet there they were, right in front of me in a farm park in Norfolk
They had many other birds also including pelicans, cranes, whistling ducks, swans (black necked and coscoroba), geese, sheldgeese, mergansers, perching ducks, dabbling ducks, magpie geese, cape barren geese, and rheas.
On the mammal front there are obviously lots of livestock breeds as suggested by the name, but a few more species, all of which very common, including the likes of rabbits, Guinea pigs, wallabies, chinchillas, degus, and Pygmy hedgehogs.
Although the mammal collection is very average for a farm, the bird collection certainly is worth the visit if you are in the area (and if you are interested in rare breeds like me then there are lots of rbst breeds present)
