Can anybody ID any of these turacos, I've looked on Zootierliste for some and it's hardly helped - but I know it isn't entirely accurate so wondered if anybody could help here for sure:

1) Taken at Welsh Mountain Zoo - from the looks I've guessed at Hartlaub's turaco (Tauraco hartlaubi), however ZTL doesn't list ANY turaco species at WMZ at all, not even in the former inventory.

2) This was taken in Chester's Tropical Realm - I think it's a Violet plantain-eater but again no mention of the species on ZTL.

If anybody can help that'd be brilliant (may have another Turaco species for ID at some point when I sort out pics, it's the one in Chester's Tropical Realm that shares and aviary with the Congo peafowl - think it's white-crested which is listed for Chester, just making 100% sure).

I was originally going to just ask for help ID'ing these, but I think it'd be more worthwhile to have it as a general ID thread for people to attach pics for ID :)

The first bird is a white-cheeked turaco (Tauraco leucotis). And the second bird is indeed a violet plantain-eater.
 
The pair of turaco upstairs in the Tropical Realm are white-crested turaco (Tauraco leucolophus).

Thanks SMR :)

I will warn everybody now that soon it will come to a time I need to ID a collection of Blackbrook photos :D

Edit - a lemur species in Blair Drummond's walkthrough :). (I'm going through and listing all of the species/subspecies I've photographed - expect this to get quite busy over the next couple of weeks :D)

Common Brown Lemur. Not 100% sure from that photo mind. It could also be a Collared Lemur but I don't think these are.
 
Blair Drummonds website mentions Common Brown Lemur and there is no mention of Collard Lemur.
My first thought was brown Lemur but had to check
Zooterliste also only has Brown lemur, Red ruffed and Ring Tailed Lemur at the park
