Viewing of Hillside Bird Oasis
23-04-2008
19th July 2008, Enjoy a private viewing of Hillside Bird Oasis in Mobberley, Cheshire. See where the dream of Blackbrook first began as we re-open Hillside for the first time in 6 years. Hillside was first developed in 1973 and was open to the public until 2002. Situated in stunning gardens, Hillside is home to many exotic species including rare waterfowl, various geese and several species of flamingos. A buffet lunch will be served on the lawns of the main house.
Standard admission prices apply tickets need to be purchased in advance Though some people on here may be interested in this information is taken of blackbrooks calander of events 2008 so contact blackbrook for more details |

This is a list from 1997, so there has probably been quite a few changes since then.
Also it is by no means a complete inventory Chilean Flamingo Greater Flamingo Caribbean Flamingo Lesser Flamingo Crested Screamer Rockhopper Penguin Macaroni Penguin Black-footed Penguin Gentoo Penguin Magellan Penguin King Penguin Andean Crested Duck Cackling Canada Goose Black-headed Duck South Georgia Pintail Toco Toucan Great Indian Hornbill Crawfurd's Kalij Great white Pelican Pink-backed Pelican Spot-billed Pelican Dalmatian Pelican American White Pelican Brown Pelican Chilean Brown Pelican Magellanic Flightless Steamer Duck Burrowing Owl Collared Scops Owl Great Grey Owl Western Screech Owl Black-faced Ibis Banded Rail Salvadori's Pheasant Vieillot's Crested Fireback Pheasant Green Peafowl Last edited by bongorob; 21-06-2008 at 06:51 AM.

I don't think so. I think all the pelicans went to Blackbrook.

I forgot all about it. Whenever I looked on the Blackbrook site I couldn't see any information about Hillside.
I went when it was a public collection. I'll post some pictures when I find them. |
