Love this aviary.

For those who don't know the zoo; this end is the old Polar Bear enclosure. The other half (hidden by the tree in this shot) was an old waterfowl lake. It's a fantastic enclosure; now in its 16th year as well.

What a great way to reinvent an otherwisw wasted area of the zoo.

Wow, Chester Zoo just keeps getting better and better in my mind. This aviary is not new, but it is new to my knowledge and looks like yet another great exhibit in England's best zoo.

Agreed. I'm not a particularly big bird fan, but I do appreciate a good aviary such as this, condor cliffs or the new Tsavo one.

This is part of the area hidden by the tree in the image above (and there's a pond to the right of this shot as well)

I agree, this enclosure is fantastic and a good use of an old enclosure.
