EASTER promises to be an eggciting time at Bourton-on-the-Water’s Birdland Park & Gardens, with real eggs under watch and a host of cracking activities planned.

From Friday, March 25-Sunday, April 10, families can discover the different breeding strategies that animals have adopted to survive in the avian world as well as watch Birdland’s hatchery to see real Easter eggs hatching and the new chicks taking their first steps.

Families can join in the Easter Challenge Quiz, throughout the Easter holidays.

Children must hunt to find 10 eggs around the site and answer some ornithological questions.

All the family can learn even more bird facts at the daily feeding talks and get to meet the keepers who look after all the birds in the park.

At the indoor Discovery Zone, visitors can meet animals that lay eggs from fish to amphibians and reptiles to mammals and even get up close in the Close Encounter zone.

This year visitors will be able to hunt for dinosaur eggs in the Jurassic Journey trail and explore prehistoric fossils in the Dino Dig.
