I’m back from my leisurely trip from deepest Southern winter to European summer, so now I start sorting through way-too-many photos.   I visited a bunch of zoos and wildlife parks, most singing a conservation tune and doing their best to offer inhabitants a reasonable facsimile of a interesting life, albeit one lacking both the dangers and the freedoms of the wild.   The primate rescue centre in Southern England was one of the most impressive.  The place is dedicated to rehoming mostly former lab animals and illegal pets who couldn’t ever be repatriated or released, and telling the various sad stories (albeit ones that ended happily) of how the residents came to be there.

[I will add more to this page as I sort through the SD cards]
