The Harbourside is one of the best places to start, with Bristol Aquarium and the multi- award winning At-Bristol Science Centre. At-Bristol is one of the UK’s leading interactive science centres with more than 300 hands-on exhibits, live science shows and areas to get creative. One of the most exciting features is Animate It! developed in collaboration with the Oscar-winning Aardman Animations - the makers of the world-famous Wallace & Gromit films whose studios are based in Bristol - to give children the chance to be an animator for the day.

  • UK-First-Breeding-Register.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION TO EDITION The original author and compiler of this record, Dave Coles has devoted a great deal of his time in creating a unique reference document which I am privileged to continue working with. By its very nature the document in a living project which will continue to grow and evolve and I can only hope and wish that I have the dedication as Dave has had in ensuring the continuity of the “First Breeding Register”. Initially all my additions and edits will be indicated in italics though this will not be used in the main body of the record (when a new record is added). Simon Matthews (2011) It is over eighty years since Emilius Hopkinson collated his RECORDS OF BIRDS BRED IN CAPTIVITY, which formed the starting point for my attempt at recording first breeding records for the UK. Since the first edition of my records was published in 1986, classification has changed several times and the present edition incorporates this up-dated classification as well as first breeding recorded since then. The research needed to produce the original volume took many years to complete and covered most avicultural literature. Since that time numerous people have kept me abreast of further breedings and pointing out those that have slipped the net. This has hopefully enabled the records to be kept up-to- date. To those I would express my thanks as indeed I do to all that have cast their eyes over the new list and passed comments, especially the ever helpful Reuben Girling who continues to pass on enquiries.
