    Can I check whether the Colobus (Western guereza) at Twycross is the right one to count in this challenge? Someone else has counted it, but I wanted to check.

    Sorry folks! I copy and pasted someone else's list to save me typing it all out, edited out the species I didn't require...and obviously didn't do a complete job! I've edited the list now so should be correct :)

    Also just realised I haven't included a couple species from the BCA teaching zoo, but as that is only open on specific days I'm guessing that doesn't count?

    I presume not as it probably falls foul of rule four:

    "Any severely limited opening or private collections (e.g. Heythrop, WHF, and any similar collections or refuges) don't count for this challenge. Controversial I know, but see previous point and I didn't think it fair to include a handful of days these collections might be open to the public as this might logistically disadvantage a large number of people"
