Beale Wildlife Park, Pangbourne, Berkshire.
Took one of my grandsons here today for a few hours. When I was a child this was known locally as Peacock Farm as the wealthy owner, Gilbert Beale, founded it to indulge his passion for collecting and breeding peacocks. Today it is very child orientated with a variety of wildlife and conservation activities and access to the nearby River Thames. This particular photograph is of a water garden which is still being developed. The magnificent willow tree in the centre and the threatening sky captured my attention.
