Old penguin enclosure

Me feeding the penguins about 1997
What sticks in my mind about this enclosure was that the pool always had lots of coins on the bottom that people had thrown in. Unfortunately, some people just don't think about the welfare of the animals when they do things like that. :(
 
I noticed lots of coins at the bottom of Bristol's crocodile pond too.

Where was this enclosure? Presumably it was refurbished/demolished once Seal & Penguin Coasts opened.
 
The pool has now been filled and the enclosure turfed and planted. It currently houses a pair of pudu and some guinea pigs.
 
No they were two old males that had been at the zoo many years. I believe they're only kept at Edinburgh and Birdland now and the captive population is still male high.
 
I think I remember this, didn't it have shower heads in the rocks?
