Ahh, I didn't know it was mice. I always put it down to either bat guano [sp] or rotting fruit.

Personally, I don't think it is. Mice (and I've never seen one in there) have a distinctive aroma, the one in Fruit Bat Forest is different, it's far less pungent and barely noticeable.

You should have been in there when I last went in. It was so foul that we couldn't stand it and walked straight through and out without looking at the bats .

(Though, admittedly, it had never smelt so bad before and it probably doesn't now, just caught it at a bad time or something).

Ah You're obviously a sensitive soul JR

I must admit to having spent hours in there with my Night Vision Scope and my cameras in desperation of getting some decent images! Looking forward to trying out the new lighting now!

Hehe must be . Mind you, like I say every other visit has been fine, it was just that one time.

I'm looking forward to trying photography in the new lighting, if only for a laugh

Wait why hadn't I thought of Night Vision in there. Is it just me imagining us all meeting in there now with Night Vision Googles? I know one of the people who have been working on the fences around the zoo and directed him in this direction as the photos show there work lol.
