Right, so I guess I will just post a few updates from my trip, if anyone has any questions please ask.
There is now a new marmoset house/enclosures on the way down the hill to the stumpies/capuchins/play ground... you can't see in the house but you can see the enclosures, I think there are 4 and all home to Common Marmosets, if I am correct the house is actually the old Orang nursery. During the talk the keeper said two of the females had recently given birth.
No sign of the Saki Monkey, there was a notice up about him in the adoption centre but no sign on the Cotton Top enclosure where he is supposed to be, looked there three times during the day and couldn't see him... anyone know if he is still there?
Great to see the two Patas Monkeys together although they do seem to still have some issues with each other, in the talk the keeper said they are very on and off with each other.
They are building another new enclosure connected to the old stumpy house (now capuchin house), from the talk it felt like she was suggesting it was for a new bachelor group of capuchins but I can't be sure, the enclosure looks complete, but was empty today. (Its at the back of the house, near the Jim memorial.)
Blue the Ruffed Lemur is still going, does anyone know where she came from originally?
Apart from that can't think of any other news, will post again if I think of anything.
Pictures going up in gallery soon.
Oh and I saw the new baby orang, very cute! And two baby woollies.

I believe its not really a nursery anymore as they are having a lot less babies to rescue/rehome and its turning into another "normal" chimp group, with Sally (and probably Bryan in future?) leading the group
3 spider monkeys have arrived at the park. Hickory, Flint & Pumpkin. Apparently they are down the bottom near the capuchins. Presumably they came from the same place as the saki monkey.
Chippy, recently moved from Twycross.
Looking back that hasn't been mentioned, Monkey World recently received Twycross's 2 male woolly monkeys Chippy and Branco.

Chippy and Branco both went into what was Bueno's group.
And that's the group that live in the new(ish) enclosure by what used to be Pets Corner isn't it? (which is now a wreck.. they really need to spruce up that area, especially the old chicken coops and so on.)
Does anyone know what the new enclosure being attached to the old stump tailed macque house (now the capuchin house) is for... is it a new arrival?

Yes, what they call the 'barn' woolies.
The spider monkey's have gone down that end of the park, not sure if it's that enclosure that you mean.

Oh right, didn't even know they had any? It was empty when I went in October. Its the large wooden enclosure attached to the old stump tailed house, it has a long walkway and its near Jim's memorial. It seems a bit small for Spider Monkeys... do you know how many there are?
As stated in post 90 of this thread - 3!
