I die of envy, overall for have been in Plzen when they didn't had this species yet.

Yes, this is one of the more recent additions, along with Asian koël, black wheatear, horned lark and some others!
Prague keeps the species too, but its behind the scenes there.

Well, Asian koel and horned lark already was here during my visit, black wheatear not but it's common where I live.

Brush bronzewing is quite common near where I live, but would love to have seen the horned lark - I was there in April and was quite overwhelmed by the incredible range of species.

Horned lark is now also kept at Prague, and it is on-show in the enclosure with the 2 species of sandgrouse and palm chat.

@ralph Looks like Prague & Plzen will have to feature on my next trip. I visited Prague twice and Plzen for a whole day and I think I only scratched the surface

Same for me. Despite seeing the animals behind the scenes at both facilities, Zootierliste shows an enormous amount of species that I didn't seen in both...
But I must visit some new places (and maybe revisit some old ones like Paris) before doing Czech again...
