Quote from myself 11 August "The Writhed (white-headed) hornbill hen has left the nest, no sign of any young unfortunately."

It was the youngster and the male I saw. The female has been removed for medical treatment.
 
I went today and I few things I noted from visit was, there was now crate in the Tsavo 2 and all 3 rhino's seemed to still be there. Does anyone know what was happening there?

Asha was out and about with Asoka, and the window in the Lion den was still boarded up with the notice she was about to give birth soon?? Didn't spend long there so didn't get to ask about this.
 
Visited yesterday, my first visit since the Cheetahs and Crocodiles went on display. The Cheetahs are stunning and came right up to the glass.

The Lechwe have now moved to the Pere David Deer paddock whilst worked was taking place in their old paddock aswell as on the site of the African Aviary.
Their are now 3 African Crested Porcupines whilst all the Childrens Ffarm animals seem to have gone.
Saw all 3 Tigers, therefore Bengals still there.
Saw 2 of the Rhinos in Tsavo I out in the paddock, first time i've seen them outside in years.
There is a Great Indian Hornbill housed in one of the aviaries behind Islands In Danger and next to the shop.
