Cherry-crowned Mangabey at Colchester, 31/08/13

My usual question- now there is no ISIS- can you remember how many of these you saw in 'Mangabey Forest'?

I went to Colchester about a fortnight ago - I saw roughly 8 individuals as far as I recall.

I didn't count, but TLD's suggestion of about 8 sounds right.

Sounds like they are doing well. I may be going myself in a few weeks and will count..

One of these days your batman-like ability to avoid other zoochatters will fail, and you will accidentally bump into one of us

He He!.....

I have now discovered more about the background of this group. The adult pair came with several others from Hanover, which I did know, but was unaware that the adult male 'Sputnik' (in photo) is the father of the adult male' Yengo' (born while they were still living in Hanover) in the only other UK group, at Paignton. The two groups both contain closely related individuals e.g the mother of this male also lives in the Paignton group, so their male is her grandson, while another female in Paignton's current group was born at Colchester and is their male's sister.
