As part of my birthday treat, Mike took me to the zoo though it's not really a zoo. It's real title is Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, which was set up by Gerald Durrell, the famous author. We had a jolly nice day while Mike took these photographs with his super duper 18-300 zoom.
The gorilla's were fed at 2pm accompanied by an audio narrative. I'm sure the narrating lady spends her time going round the zoo giving talks because we saw and heard her again in the bat enclosure! There are MANY of the gorillas! There was a male gorilla many years ago called Jambo, sadly now he has died, who looked after a child who fell into the enclosure. See here for further reading and here to watch the footage!
Here is the cute baby gorilla.
Who's the daddy?
Big man at zoo!
A mothers love!
Waiting for dinner................
MMMMMM! Food!
These creatures are red river hogs and funny things they were too!
These cheeky orangutans were hiding in the grass outside the indoor enclosure! I wonder what is going through their minds! ;)
An otter!
These were the funniest, flapping ducks we have ever seen! The just flapped for no reason at all.
The birds came in two by two in the aviary.
This is my favourite bird photograph. We done darling!
