Arriving at Whipsnade Zoo shortly before the 10am opening time, the rain was already falling and the dark heavy skies were promising more to follow.
After paying the entrance fee we walked along the footpath towards the bird's favoured feeding area yesterday, the Hullabazoo Farm. We were still walking towards this area when the bird was spotted perched in a berry-laden tree just outside the Pig-Pen. It soon flew into the fenced area and began foraging among the logs and branches on the ground. Unfortunately, it didn't stay long and flew off towards the distant tree line. As the rain, became heavier we took shelter under the roof of the play centre. The skies began to clear and the bird was soon re-located.

We spent the remainder of the day wandering along the footpaths viewing the various animals. It was a very blustery day and Dad's Baseball cap flew into the moat of the Squirrel Monkey enclosure, much to our amusement.
