First time I went was about 50 years ago lol. Last time I went was about 20ish years ago, and it was there then. Just had a quick look, it was found on a beach in Harlech 1988. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Sayer 3,624 Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 (edited) My old grandad was a taxidermist, so growing up as a kid was wonderful. He had a pet fox , pet pheasant and we helped a injured kestrel get released again which as a 13 year old led me to an interest in falconry. I think I may have put these story's up before. When the moors murders was active, one of the kids was my my either off the estate or some connection. Anyway the bin men found bones in my grandads dustbin and the police came round and took him in for a interview. The bones were actually off some non domestic cat and obviously he got released and cleared. Another time my grandad was friendly with a zoo keeper who gifted my grandad a dead crocodile carcass. The croc had lived at the zoo for years and was called Gariel and was an Indian crocodile and When mounted donated it to the city museum. When I got into the lurchers had all my first hare roe fox ect all mounted . Have great memories of growing up there down the work shop at bottom of the garden and out in the woods foraging for logs and moss for placks and learning about wildlife.
