    Not that we saw - the porcupine are there (or at least there is a sign for them) but were no shows despite frequent visits to their enclosure. Could not see any signs of the other two.

    Just realised I have failed to update my sightings from previous visits to Colchester Zoo:
    47. Ring-tailed lemur
    48. Blue and yellow macaw
    49. Golden lion tamarin

    And today, I found the small bird gardens at Bury St Edmunds, and added two new species to my list:
    50. Fischer's lovebird
    51. Gouldian finch
