Will be visiting on Friday and will hopefully getting a full species list as the ZTL list is so far out of date some species having left the collection over 2 years ago.
This is a small collection to say the least but I did find it enjoyable on my last visit and always said I would return.
Will be taking photographs of the collection and photographs from outside the collection, as it's a short walk from Whitlock's end rail station, end of car park turn right then first right and keep walking for around 5/10 minutes collection on left inside a garden centre.

Sorry, I don't understand the question - some of these are still listed as current holdings on zootierliste.
My last visit was two months ago, but the tropical house and aviary is now closed for the winter.

I copied a list from ztl yesterday and the above were not showing on the list but after reading your comment I went and copied the list again and guess what they are on the list so why weren't they on the copied list I did first.
The current list now states 27 species yesterday it was stating 21
