BIRDLAND have successfully bred a critically endangered Waldrapp Ibis chick, the first to hatch at the park in over five years.
The Waldrapp Ibis is a migratory bird found in barren, semi-desert or rocky habitats, often close to running water.
Adults grow up to 80cm in height and have a glossy black plumage with a red featherless face and head, and a love, curved red bill.
Visitors will be able to spot the chick and its parents in their aviary this bank holiday weekend from Saturday 27 to Monday 29.
Families can also visit the Penguin Shore, home to the only breeding group of King Penguins in the UK.
Penguin feeding sessions will be from 11am to 2.30pm. Keepers will be feeding King Penguins and Humboldts as well as talking to visitors about caring for penguins.
While families are at Birdland, they can also explore the interactive Jurassic Journey trail, meet parrots, tortoises and bunnies, and see flamingos being fed by the Flamingo river.
