A good time was had by all - the BWC made for excellent hosts. If anyone wants their face blurred out, let me know! ;)

A tour with the centre owner and a very friendly otter!
Well to my count we have 4 zoochatters and a zoochatters wife not including me in this picture!

I've just spotted who you've spotted! I wasn't counting zoochatters' spouses - that's cheating!

Yes but even without somebodys better half in the picture it still means there are 5 zoochatters in the picture including me!!
 
Having been to several of the European Zoohistorica events over the years, I can regognise at least 5 faces and can associate them to various Zoochat usernames. However, as Maguari had said, it might be a breach of privacy to do so.

Zoogiraffe has already been idendified as one, and everyone knows him! ;) However, the other four keep a very low profile here. Unless you follow the UK threads with great interest, you're unlikely to have even heard of them.

Regarding the wife that someone mentioned, she is more than just a wife of a zoo enthusiast, she is a zoo enthusiast herself! I've known her and her husband for eight or nine years now; if I recall right from a pleasant evening spent with them and others in Munich, Germany, in 2006 (when the Zoohistorica was held at the city zoo) they told me that their first two dates were in a zoo! I'm guessing the third was in a restaurant, but that's where most people start out! :D

just to clarify what I did mean was "does anyone want to put their own names to their faces" rather than just anybody naming names :)

I will reveal that I am not in the photo :D

She is most certainly a zoo enthusiast, but to the best of my knowledge, not a zoochatter. ;)
 
This reminds me of the photo* in Desmond Morris's book Men and Pandas, showing Floyd Tangier Smith and 5 pandas at London Zoo in the 30's. The caption is something like "never before have so many been seen together, and probably never again".

*Searched but can't find an online copy
