I managed to squeeze in a visit to Battersea Zoo during my stay in London last week.

A couple of changes not mentioned on zootierliste or this website.

1. There is now a pair of Straited Caracas in the Barn Owl/Hedgehog area on the website map. Did not see those two species so no idea if they are still in collection.

2. Enclosure that is supposed to hold an eider species currently looks like its being renovated so the birds were not exhibited.
