"The last long runs are done, and the race numbers are through. Now it’s time to trust the training, ease back, and let the taper do its thing. Feeling proud, a little nervous, but mostly excited for what’s ahead at the London Marathon."
The London Marathon is fast approaching! 🏃
Our Head of Operations, Scott, is taking part and gave us this update on his training:
It's another big achievement, as this chick is the first to have been solely incubated by its parents and is now almost nearly two months old.
Make sure to keep an eye out for it in the Drive-Through Safari - you may be lucky enough to see its head poking out of the nest!
Another critically endangered vulture chick has hatched here at Longleat! 🐣
In 2025 we welcomed our first African white-backed vulture chick in more than 10 years, and we're thrilled to share that we've had another new arrival.
