Well i was going to try and find a different thread to fit all my questions/thoughts in, but i decided i may aswell start a thread.
1. No signs of any new Squirrels at Elephants Of The Asian Forests? One of the aviaries did contain Lady Amherst Pheasants though. I assume something must be arriving soon.
2. The former Lechwe paddock is still empty, have they given up on the Ground Hornbill idea completely?
3. The African Aviary is now looking brilliant and rather close to completion. However the entire area seems rather barren, the only birds on display were Blue Cranes, Crowned Cranes, Storks and a small number of Waterfowl. I didn’t go around to the other side opposite the Gemsbok but there didn’t appear to be any sign of the Pelicans or Wattled Cranes. What are the plans for the remaining species in this area?
4. Meerkat’s wise there were 4 at least in the brilliant enclosure next to Tsavo, but another two in the former Children’s Farm, please tell me that the one’s at Tsavo are staying there.
5. Didn’t spot any Dik-Dik anywhere but I didn’t really have that much time to visit the Butterfly House and therefore didn’t go round to that area.
6. Servals were nowhere to be seen, are they on show yet. No luck with the Pudu or Bush Dogs either.
7. The zoo has acquired Black and White Laughing Thrushes, i saw one individual in what used to be the outdoor Tuatara enclosure right before you enter the Tropical Realm, the aviary is too big for it IMO. The birds were also labelled at the Rainbow Aviaries, of which there's a picture in the gallery. Just wondering how long have these birds been here?
8. Are the Indian Rhino's being allowed any acsess to the paddock, as it didnt seem they were. The Deer were on show but the Blackbuck and Rhinos were a no-show.
9. St Lucia Parrot is still on display in the Lilicane Amazon aviary, anyone know why? Are Hyacinth Macaws on show yet, been a good year since i saw them really.
