    We probably could've visited more places if I didn't have to do so much video editing. Still, only 11 videos behind now (make that 14 after this weekend!) :)

    The RSCC video is now online. I still can't believe this fantastic collection is no more. Still, I'm glad we got the chance to visit....

    The end of 2015 is drawing to a close, but we still have plenty of zoo visits to be done. We're up to 35 and are aiming to hit the magic 40 with a road trip to the north west over Christmas:

    27th. Chester Zoo
    28th. Knowsley Safari Park
    29th. Blackpool Zoo
    30th. South Lakes Zoo
    31st. Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Centre

    I'm trying to convince Lynsey to stop at Peak Wildlife Park on the way to Chester on Boxing Day but so she wants a least one relaxing day, I told her that's what Chrtistmas Day is for!

    Anyway, I must get on with the videos, here is number 21 for you to watch, Howletts Wild Animal Park:

    So great to see the baby gibbon brachiating! He was only a few days old on my first visit in may :)

    It works OK when I click on it, maybe it was just a blip when you tried to view?

    As said it didn't work for me, but that was on my tablet computer; since I've tried it on my desktop and it worked fine.

    Thanks for all of the great videos so far, all of good quality and content. I'm looking forward to future ones :).

    What device are you trying to watch the video on, and what web browser are you using? My wife can't view it on the Nexus, but it works fine on my android phone and laptop.

    Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2016 is a good year for you all, I don't expect we'll be visiting anywhere near as many zoos, which is a shame, but we will be tying to visit a few overseas in the coming months.

    In the meantime, please enjoy video number 23, Marwell Zoo. This one does work on tablets :)

    So far 2016 has been bleak on the zoo front, no visits to date and only one firm visit planned - Birdland for Valentines to feed the King Penguins!

    At least I have time to edit last years footage; #24 (Monkey World) and #25 (Paington) are complete, #26 is in first draft (Dartmoor), and #27 is in edit (Exmoor). I'm aiming to have them all complete by end of March.

    Anyway Monkey World has been Youtube'd, I hope you enjoy:

    I wouldn't expect them to ever get Gorillas. If there were any that needed rescuing I would have thought they would go to an Aspinall park.
