Zoo Nordhorn

a bit of colour: Wildcat

As my camera is broken (once again) I thought I´d look though some of my old pics. The seal called "Lilly" was three days old when I took the photo.

A particularly cheeky budgie ...

...at the aviary in Nordhorn zoo, for Ingrid.

Just some pics

which have accumulated on my computerView from my study, yesterday evening.
For documentary purposes only :).

Young magot, Natur Zoo Rheine - a rather small but imo very good zoo close by.
And no, not a maggot but a magot or barbary macacque (Macaca sylvanus).

The grass is always greener on the other side

Münsterland, close to where I grew up. And yes, it´s completely different from the Emsland! :)

Googlemaniac

Yup, I´m afraid thats me. And I´ve found a new toy called "google patents" where you can look up : patents. What a surprise.
As enclosure design is one of my "pet passions" (isn´t that an amusing pun...insert irony here) I like to look at cage patents and you can actually find things like a hamster elevator there!

Oh, by the way: Yes I´m back from Costa Rica (16th of April til 3oth of June).
