Living Coasts
Old 28-12-2007

They have got 3 female Bank Cormorants that will be on their way to them next year from South Africa just as soon as the paper work can be sorted out,the staff are hoping that they arrive in time for the breeding season as the 3 males that they have spent all summer building nests,this year.

I have read on their website it is not an extension as such but a redesigning of the indoor area.

I thought Living Coasts was struggling - didn't they have to make redundancies last year? Or are the WWT shoring the place up with profits from their other zoos?
