River levels remain high on parts of the River Windrush with flooding of low lying paths, roads and land expected to continue, especially in areas between Witney and the River Thames. 

However, this soggy baby rhino photographed by Jackie Thomas was clearly enjoying playing in muddly puddles at Cotswold Wildlife Park.

The Park was forced to limit entry to pre-booked tickets during the week as its overflow grass car park became waterlogged and could not be used due to the persistent rainfall.

The park said it was monitoring the situation closely and issuing updates on its website and social media.

Cotswold Wildlife Park is now operating a winter timetable and will remain closed on weekdays only from 9 January until 9 February except for weekends when the Park will be open from 10 am until 4pm or dusk (with last admission being at 3pm) to allow for essential maintenance to be carried out.
