With the forecast for showers, we wondered what we were going to be in for, but it quickly turned out to be a stunner of a day! We were charmed by cows, sheep, goats, a grumpy looking turkey, and some VERY eager chickens....
Some of our group got to see a sheep being shorn; and we learned some weird words naming those wobbly bits on a turkey! (Carbuncles & snoods!) Did you know that when it's red, it's not a happy camper? When they're blue, they're relaxed. As you can see, this guy was TOTALLY enjoying our visit!
Our morning tea/lunch was enjoyed in some lovely shade outside the kitchen. Yay for the shade! Ambury Farm Park is a wonderful facility for getting up close and personal to the animals, and the best bit is it's free! There's a bit more info on the website (www.arc.govt.nz/parks). I noticed there is also some walks along the shoreline there...
