Hippo Viewing Area at Beauval, 12/06/18

The hippo enclosure is netted over and stocked with birds including Pink-backed Pelicans, Abdim's, Yellow-billed and African Openbill Storks, Grey-necked Crowned Cranes, Hammerkop, White-headed and Palmnut Vultures, African Spoonbills, Sacred, Hadada and Southern Bald Ibis, White-headed Duck, Cape Teal, Blue-winged Goose and more. There are also separate paddocks for Lowland Nyala and Red River Hog, as well as a Malawi cichlid tank and a carp-stocked pool for the hippos.
 
I don't recall seeing photos of this exhibit before. This looks really nice. Maybe I should fit Beauval into my schedule the next time I go to Europe.
 
I had been vaguely aware of the enclosure, but not in any details. It's exceptional and I'd say Beauval was very much worth a look.
