A re-edit of the Tiger gob shot as after looking at it again it was a bit too dark.....

Another exotic looking bird from Chester Zoo

#3 Lilac Breasted Roller

Thanks Mark.

Thanks John and Mark.

Thanks Mark.

A nice set of images, not surprised you couldn't get down to the beach on the second image, you'd need ropes and other climbing whatnot.....

Thanks Clicker, they do have some exotic birds at the zoo, a lot of them in the free-flying areas, I've got quite a few more including one that looks like a orange sparrow and some lilac breasted rollers....

Another exotic pigeon, these were as big as a chicken...

Thanks Clicker, me neither, I missed these on my first visit......They are all free-flying in their enclosure....

A bit of a Google found what this was, it reminded of the Bronze Wing Pigeons that Kobione sees, except with the 'predator dreads'

That shot was very similar, the tigers are on a hill, so it's almost eye level with no glass in between. It's only my second visit to Chester Zoo, it is a tad on the expensive side but it's huge, some of the free-flying bird aviaries are excellent to visit....

Thanks Gareth.

Thanks Gareth, a bit of a mixture actually, some were shot through fences, the first tiger shot was neither, the cheetahs were shot through glass.....

At Chester Zoo, these are Asian ones... you can tell as they aren't holding Big Ears hostage.....
