Today I took my children to our local wildlife park with my friend and her children. I was really nervous about going, but once I got there I really enjoyed it. My children were so good and hearing my son's squeals of laughter at the monkeys and meer cats made the day so worthwhile. I was actually quite relaxed for a change.


In the afternoon was the bird of prey display. The first bird was a vulture and as they introduced him I could not believe it. He was called v****. My friend looked at me and chuckled and I just about managed half a smile. Hearing his name called across the loudspeaker several times was just too much for me so I took my son for another look at the monkeys. Poor vulture, fancy having a name like that.
