I believe the collection is now down to a single very elderly individual - it will be a shame when they are gone from Colchester.

There were 2 there last week and have been on my last few visits over 6 months, since i've been taking note anyway.
 
Fair enough :) I must have make the amateur error of watching the enclosure, only seeing the one, and thus interpreting this as being the total!

The enclosure does them no favours, I feel - too small, too stark and tucked out of the way. I wonder how many people of the non-zoonerd variety will notice when they eventually go?

Virtually none I imagine... strange how a once-thriving group of over a dozen in their old enclosure near the old Sealion pool, should have dwindled to what they have now.
