    Sorry you cannot see the article. I do not think it is more accessible, necessarily, it just has a covered waiting area now. According to the article buses have stopped there informally for years, even though there was never an official bus stop until now.

    The last three Kiang have joined the larger group at Knowsley Safari Park, where I saw them last year. See Post 15 of this thread, or Knowsley SP thread for further details.

    To answer my own question from a few posts earlier, apparently there is bus service. The directions page on the website includes a section about arriving by bus, both long haul from London to Aviemore, and local bus 32 from Aviemore to park entrance.

    I spotted this enclosure a couple of weeks ago and wondered what it was for. It's next to the female Polar Bear enclosure.
