We'd like to say a massive thank you to the organisers of @xmasatbutepark for inviting our families and staff along to enjoy the illuminations this year. They enjoyed some quality time together, making new memories and remembering our loved ones who are no longer with us.

European mole (Talpa europea) This mole lives in European mole (Talpa europea) This mole lives in a tunnel system, which it constantly extends. It uses these tunnels to hunt its prey. Under normal conditions, the displaced earth is pushed to the surface, resulting in the characteristic molehills. It is an omnivore that feeds mainly on earthworms, but also on insects, centipedes and even mice and shrews. 📸 Ranger Rachel #talpaeuropea #europeanmole #LoveButePark #ButeParkWildlife #ButeParkRanger #WildCardiff

It has survived on the planet since the Jurassic period and is therefore known as a 'living fossil'. Since these trees can live for over a thousand years, the trees are considered symbols of longevity and good health. Give a ginkgo bonsai to a friend or relative as a birthday present and wish them “100 years” of happiness! #TreetoftheWeek #ButeParkTrees #ButeParkArboretum #LoveButePark #WildCardiff
