More Zoo Snaps

You might remember this post from last month, when Colin and I went to London Zoo on our anniversary. We love the zoo, and on my birthday last week we went to Colchester Zoo since Colin had never been and I hadn’t been since I was about 14. It’s so different to London Zoo (in a good way)!

Since I am extremely knackered and only just realised I’d run out of scheduled posts, please enjoy some photos from Colchester before normal service resumes on Monday! It was such a hot day, seriously I reckon the hottest day of the year so far, so much so that most of the animals were sleeping or lazing about but it was awesome anyway.

Fennec Foxes are one of my favourites, I just wish this little guy would have rolled over in his sleep so I could have got pictures other than of his back!

This ostrich was SUCH a poser.

I absolutely love going to the zoo, always one of my favourite days out. What’s the best one you’ve ever been to?

    I just went to the Toronto Zoo and LOVED it! You have some amazing pictures in there! :)

      Awesome! It’s a bit of a goal of mine to visit a zoo/wildlife sanctuary/whatever in every country I visit, so hopefully one day I’ll get to go to Toronto zoo! :-)

    Did you see Raj? (The large male Orangutan). He’s my favourite. I used to volunteer at Colchester zoo and being assigned to his enclosure was the highlight of my time there.

    • http://www.blogger.com/profile/15110959456221326131 Leanne

      Yes I did! He was lovely, but I couldn’t get any good pictures ’cause the orangutans were inside. That’s amazing that you used to volunteer there :-)

    That last picture of the ostrich is a cracker! It looks like it hold become a meme! I’ve only been to the zoo once in my life! I’ll need to go again soon though – need to make a panda appointment! Xo

      Hahaha oh god that would be amazing if it did, I don’t know what he would be saying though. He looks a bit like he’s smirking! Ohh, they don’t have Giant pandas at Colchester (in fact I’m not sure that there are any the UK at all…) but Colchester have red pandas!

    Haha, love the Ostrich pictures! Once an emu followed my Dad around trying to get in his pockets – I always think those kind of birds are a bit scary haha :)

      Haha really? Funny :-) I love big birds!
