We spent a few days at Elveden Forest Centreparc over the half-term break and I was hoping to spend some time looking for wildlife. Grey Squirrels and Moorhens are everywhere and were often seen on top of the rubbish bins. A bit of a shame the Centreparc doesn't recycle/compost its food waste but the Squirrels certainly thrive on the titbits. I saw Squirrels eating various potato products and chinese food but unfortunately missed the tree rat drinking a carton of apple juice as witnessed by my wife! Mallards arrived on the patio for bread at breakfast and tea-time, but there were other animals to see too and the Crossbills were a highlight for me. I was looking forward to seeing some in the coniferous forest.
