Oh boy there was a cold north wind blowing today! I hurried to the Tropical Rainforest, intent upon seeing the baby ocelots which are finally on display. While I was waiting, I enjoyed watching the birds.

Eventually Mama Ocelot came out for a short while, but alas, I missed the babies today. I'll try again soon. In the meantime, ( here they are ) on the Zoo Blog.

Shhh. My wife's sleeping. She looks after the kids on the night shift. I take the day.

Okay, I know you came to see my babies, but they are still asleep. Sowwy!

Just keeping an eye on the weather. It's still too cold out there for me.

Hey, this new chick is kinda bossy! Don't tell anyone but I like it!

 
     
   
     
Briony, the new Siamang
Where did that boy go? He was out here a minute ago. Surely he's not shy?
