The new issue of Z magazine mentions the breeding of 4 Javan green magpies, a U.K.first breeding, also the arrival of binturong has been confirmed, but not to subspecies level.
however I still feel that the magazine is far too heavily weighted in favour of conservation, and against things hapening in the zoo.
Other new arrivals are Indian Dwarf Mudskippers.

Guess what? I have some pretty average photos of these squirrels taken on 29th July 2006. I believe they were Callosciurus erythraeus gongshanensis. I will post one when I finish my current batch of scans

Indeed they were.
Also (p35) confirmation of work on the old condor aviary coming up in the autumn development push.
Nerdy point, but it's the first time I've noticed them quoting the new, upgraded acreage (up from 110 to 125). It's been 110 ever since I've been going (though I'm sure the Jaguars must have added an unacknowledged acre).

Nice addition at this rate these will be coming the common species of Mudskipper in the UK,as they are already at Blue Planet and Bristol Zoo,sure I have forgotten somewhere as well!
Zootierliste lists four zoos each for P. barbarus and P. novemradiatus (without Chester) - almost bound to be incomplete for small fishes but Chester would seem to put the latter ahead!
Birds Rob, birds! Hard to imagine.A new aviary? Did I read that correctly?
I wonder if the push for more birds in Islands will (fingers crossed) involve or lead to the return of BOPs. Also, I can't wait to find out what species will be in the walkthrough aviary!
Also, anyone who's visited recently, what's going on with the chimps? Are Boris, Patti and Chrissie still together with Kiki and Vila, or have they switched them around? And are the German ladies still onshow?
I've just been invited to a members' event involving a sorcerer who has stolen the special powers of the nocturnal animals, aerialists (aren't they people who work for Sky) and acrobats.
Oh dear.
Oh very dear ...
I really don't know what you're on, but I think I might like some.

I appreciate that I am being very pedantic here, but the creeping use of this tautology really irritates me: an aviary is a cage for birds, so why "bird aviary"? Unnecessary, Chester Zoo PR Department, unnecessary!
A state of the art live animal vivarium.

You'll need to contact the marketing bods at the zoo - or perhaps check the grounds for "interesting" mushrooms.
I would like to be proved wrong but I'm thinking - don't hold your breath.
Read in a more sober light,
, I now realise you were refering to marketing madness rather than rambling incoherently (it's the marketing department rambling incoherently). Apologies for the misunderstanding.
