Firstly I saw these, which are orange ladybirds with 16 cream coloured spots (latin name Halyzia 16-guttata). I don't think I've seen them before, and if I have I've never seen so many in one place.
And secondly I found goats. I had known there were goats kept in the park because I remember seeing the hoohar in the local paper about where they should be kept. I think they're Cheviot goats. My quick Google results indicate a small number were donated in 2000 by the Parish of Lynton and Lynmouth. The trouble is they seem to have donated four females and two female kids. The lack of males makes it difficult to explain why there were 20 plus there today. Maybe they joined an existing trip of Cheviot or other goats. Anyway they seemed to be quite impressive beasts.
