Taronga Zoo – Visit on 17 January 2023

This was another very pleasant and interesting day at Taronga Zoo.

We could only spot one of the Gibbons –

Chook – 

Cockatoo – 

In the Blue Mountains Bushwalk section – some Zebra Finches –

Then down past the kids section, an Echidna –

Scorpion –

Quokka – 

Capybaras – 

More birds in the large aviary –

Black-faced Monarch –

Topknot Pigeon – 

Noisy Pitta – 

Regent Bowerbird – 

We had visited the Sumatran Tiger enclosure earlier, but the Tigers were all asleep then, so we returned later and they were much more active (they were about to be fed) –

And a Woompoo Pigeon –

And as we were walking down to the Ferry, a Red Panda –

This was a very pleasant day out. Thanks to Sue and Valerie for great company.
