Chester Zoo Cabot's Tragopan

Great to see this 'fella' again. He was a cracking bird to work with. I hope Chester breeds many chicks from him.

Need a female for him first but will keep you updated on progress.

Not sure of the guy's name, but someone in County Louth has just bred 30 Cabot's Tragopans this year! One hell of an achievement.

Visited the zoo on Saturday. The Tragopan appeared as soon as we arrived at the aviary, strutted down to the front, posed for (a lot of) photos, and then disappeared !
A couple of them have now been added to the Chester gallery..... for those folk that are interested !
