Barn owl has been there for a while it was there when I visited earlier this year, shame the squirrels have gone I didn't see them on my last trip still I'm all for new species coming on show.
For those who have missed the red squirrels at the collection here is a link to my photograph taken the last time I saw them - Red Squirrel | ZooChat
Hi all.
As Brum stated above, Red Squirrels have left the collection. In their former enclosure are a pair of Eclectus Parrots, a Blue-Winged Macaw and a trio of Silkie Bantams.
The Barn Owl has been in with the Reeves's Pheasants for a number of years now.

Didn't notice the macaw and totally failed to see the bantams.
Has the barn owl always been signed and am I just blind?
What about the tragopan?
From memory, the Barn Owl has been signed since we got our new signage about 2 years ago. It was on-show with no sign for probably about a year before that.
The Tragopan passed away earlier this year.
Does anyone know what's happened to the Giant Jumping Rats inside the Moonlight house? and what about that Big Hairy Armadillo, is he/she still there?
Armadillo is gone jumping rats I'm not sure didn't see them yesterday.
Have the Jumping Rats moved onto another collection or did they die out?
The last Jumping Rat moved to another collection.
I see. Thanks for letting me know!
A little note from my last visit on Saturday, the sheep now seem to be mixed with the sitatunga when they where not on my last visit to the collection.
That's good, cause I saw it posted on Facebook yesterday and I was thinking "Don't they still have another ocelot in there?" but I wasn't sure whether I wanted to ask them about it or not.
Either way it's a goob job they still have one at least.
Did they not get on or is she past breeding age? I was told by a keeper early on that they would eventually be together but that never happened so I was wondering what the deal was.
Makes sense. Fingers crossed for babies one day. If it happens I might have to come and camp out by their enclosure for a while.
3 black tree monitors have gone on show in the reptile house as confirmed by the parks Facebook.
