We arrived just after opening time at ten o'clock and walked ourselves into the ground making sure we saw every animal that we could. There were a couple of no-shows - the Otters were not evident and because the Lynx had recently gave birth the area was completely overgrown with weeds and grasses. Somewhere in the middle of the large compound the Lynx and its kittens was happily snoozing the afternoon away.
