I have not been to a Zoo for over 50 years and if totally honest not a great fan. On this occasion I was in the area and I had read a lot about Marwell Zoo and the work they have done with endangered species and so we had a day to have a look. I have to say we were both totally surprised and impressed. The animals were in excellent condition and the enclosures were clean and big. The bird avery was great along with the reptile area. I would go again and support them.
Ich wünsche allen meinen Besuchern einen schönen Samstag.
Herzlichen Dank für eure zahlreichen und lieben Kommentare.

There always seems to be a stigma between Zoo Animals and Creatures in the Wild, from a photographic point but as I cannot get about as well as I could. So if you can get the right image, that’s good, and makes me well satisfied of what I can achieve. Hope you like this series. I know I enjoyed the experience. Stay safe. Patrick
Ps I’m now having computer problems so there will be a little delay in responding. Just typical.
Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ and visits they are so very much appreciated.
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image)
Ein sehr schöner Zoo, der Besuch hat sich gelohnt, war ich bestimmt nicht zum letzten mal!

Going back over some old photos as not had any time to do much new stuff. Found these ones from our trip to London Zoo early in the summer.

Flamingo at The Welsh Mountain Zoo, Colwyn Bay, North Wales.
Flamingo's are a type of wading bird in the family Phoenicopteridae.
A group of flamingo's is called a
" Flamboyance "
Flamingo's are omnivores and filter-feed on brine shrimp, and blue-green algae, as well as insect larvae small insects and mollusks and crustaceans.
The pink or reddish colour of flamingo's comes from carotenoid in their diet, of animal and plant plankton.
Flamingo's prefer to drink freshwater, but they are equipped with glands under their eyes
that remove extra salt from their bodies,so this organ allows them to also drink saltwater.
Meerkats work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, like this lonely fellow, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground.
A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that make up their varied diet.
Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
San Diego Zoo
Der Zoo Basel ist ein zoologischer Garten in Basel. Er befindet sich im Stadtquartier Basel-Bachletten am Fluss Birsig. Er wurde 1874 eröffnet und ist somit der älteste Zoo der Schweiz. Mit 7017 (2014) Tieren in 628 Arten (58 Säugetierarten, 88 Vogelarten, 41 Reptilienarten, 10 Amphibienarten, 284 Fischarten und 147 Arten an wirbellosen Tieren) besitzt er auch mit Abstand den grössten Tierbestand. Aufgrund von Zuchterfolgen wie bei Panzernashorn, Zwergflusspferd oder Westlichem Flachlandgorilla wurde der Stadtzoo weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannt und gilt daher, trotz seiner relativ kleinen Fläche von rund 11 Hektaren, als einer der bedeutenden Zoos von Europa.
