Egg-cellent Adventures!

The Easter Bunny left an egg-citing nature trail around Nightingale Valley over the Easter holidays. Posters of different types of eggs laid by a variety of animals that call the valley their home were hidden around the footpath, and we hope that interesting facts were learnt by all.
