Tuesday 6th

Went out this morning after a cuppa, to see if I could get any worthy photo's of the Autumn colours.. but sadly there wasn't much to see now. But I did get  a couple of other photo's.... now that the leaves are almost fallen, it is easier to see the red pandas as they perch high up in their tree.

I also saw the T.rex sat waiting to be taken away... he was tied down - presumably so he couldn't escape or harm anyone. However, he did manage to grab a workman's hi-viz jacket!

Kera and Namoki were playing on top of the outside den.. there was some chest slapping and playful tussles.

Young Kukena was being adventurous and kept wandering away from Mum, Salome; curious about the jackdaws and anything else that caught his attention. Poor Salome was kept on her toes trying to keep him in her sights. Several times she had to follow him and bring him back to the sunny side of the outside den where she was trying to sit and enjoy the warmth from the sun.

 I spent the afternoon on the computer changing a number of reptile ID's from Quark files to illustrator ones, adding the word 'juveniles' to some as replacement signs are needed for the young of several species. The process of re-doing a sign from one format to another can throw up a few problems like text not quite fitting in to the new format or maps having to be re-done. The printer inks still haven't yet arrived so I still can't print anything from my printer.

At the very end of the day Jim, from the Education Section, came into the studio to use the phone. He was waiting for a call from the Simon Mayo show 'Drivetime' as he was to talk to him live on the radio about Chameleons.
