german zoos

Good afternoon everyone. As last year's trip around Germany was a big success (and the Deutsch Ticket is "broken" in gaming terms), I'm going for round 2 this September! I plan to visit more zoos and natural history museums, with the main objective of photographing species I don't have in my...
