Just thought you would like to know the house should be open to the public for the October half term week.

I don't think it will be started until after the baby rhino is born.

When I visited on Wednesday work had started on the African aviary site and the trees in the former lechwe paddock were being removed.

Intresting that they are clearing the trees in the old Lechwe paddock is i had heard that the Hornbill aviary was onhold,unless its in preparation of mother and baby rhino using the paddock as i believe they are going to use this paddock for their out door use.

I was at the zoo on the 26th too. The external areas around the new house seem virtually complete;but the path along the canal bank is still closed so you can't get near enough to see what's happening inside.
