SPRING is in the air at Walton Hall Gardens with the annual baby boom of African pygmy goats and baby rabbits, which will all be on show in time for Easter.
Zoo ranger Peter Cookson is pictured with local youngsters Rosie Barker, Sophie Knowles and Gracie Hague, who were all enjoying a day out at the former ancestral home of the Daresbury family.
The three nursery friend, aged three and four were thrilled to meet the tri-colour African Pygmy goats who were all born on the same day.
Peter says the new arrivals will all remain part of the herd and he expects them to be a big attraction at Easter.
