After a long hibernation, both of us decided to venture out on what was called a ‘relatively warm day with sunny intervals’ by our ever reliable Met department. Our destination - the London Zoo. It was a bold move as every single person we had met while in London said that it was just not the place to go to.
Our desperation to see any form of wildlife, after a period of over 6 months with not even a worm in sight, gave us the confidence to face this challenge.
As animal lovers, who have seen the worst of the worst, we must say that the zoo was not as bad as it was said to be. Here is the evidence.
No it's not a brick wall - it's a fish tank with this sea anemone
A green mamba attempting suicide?
Mr Gorgeous
Bali Starling - can you believe there are only 8 more in the wild
The shot - A blue Morpho
The cuties - White-Eyes
The sunny intervals never came and we had to spend over 2 hours standing next to the gorilla enclosure looking very much like two wet crows waiting to grab some of their food. Unfortunately Mr forgot to take any of shots of ‘us’ - the humans ...
Gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat mamba suicidal posture is cool.
ReplyDeleteThat Bali Starling is a knockout!
I hope the spring will arrive soon.
I have now started to attend to some of the pending blog-related matters today, one of which was to add you to my blogroll. Sorry I overlooked to do it earlier due to being away from all things internet.
