The calf was threatening to come outside, but I didn’t see more than a brief glimpse of its head peeping out of the indoor enclosure.
I was trying to think when I’d last have seen them! Were they not on the species list for the delayed Grasslands?

Possibly, I can't quite remember.
Species imported during 2020 which may be for this aviary were
Ringed Teal
Greater Brazilian Teal
Wild Muscovy Duck
Orinoco Goose
The zoo magazine also mentioned Saffron Finch for the new South American aviary.
What strikes about the aviary is the height and size of some of the trees it encompasses - it has the potential to become a hugely impressive display.

I couldn't see any sign of them or signs for them today.
I did see that the Adder enclosure looks ready, but no sign of an occupant.
According to Zootierliste, Chester Zoo no longer hold Black Howler Monkeys.
Those changes must have happened within the last week, strange about the tamarins, exciting about the adder.
Yea, they were no longer in their usual spot on my visit so it looks like they are gone. Unsure if they were old and died or simply left.
Has there been a spring edition of Z magazine yet? I'm an animal adopter and haven't had a copy yet, but to be honest I'm unsure when my adoption runs out - it should have been at the start of the year, but I've only had 3 magazines instead of 4 due to you-know-what and I believe memberships were extended accordingly?
I'm a member and I don't believe I have had mine yet.
OK thanks, probably either delayed or skipped an issue again due to office staff being furloughed. I'd have thought if my adoption had run out I'd have been informed but you never know in these strange times.
My (membership) copy of the spring Z arrived today, for what it's worth - so if you're due one it will probably be fairly imminent.
Ours also arrived this week. Didn't it go to 3 a year a while ago as an economy measure?
Bit harsh! I always look forward to getting it.

Does anyone know where I could purchase the old Zoo Days series on DVD. I have looked everywhere to no avail. If anyone has a second hand copy,they don’t want I am willing to pay for it.
Have you tried eBay or Amazon? That's where I've bought old sport dvds . Hope you find what you're looking for

thanks@Embu I have exhausted all avenues online but to no luck.
I always used to enjoy reading Mark Pilgrim’s comments at the start of the issue, so I’m not sure what of value will be in there now...
