Continuing with the theme of sedate hills: Braxonyja visited Edinburgh Zoo to celebrate Immy's birthday!
Edinburgh Zoo is set on the south side of Corstorphine Hill at the top of which is apparently a tower dedicated to Sir Walter Scott but which I have to confess I have never seen. The most famous residents of the zoo are, of course, those much publicised (and thus far unromantic) pandas; Tian Tian (Sweetie), and Yang Guang (Sunshine).
Freyja came prepared to meet these zoological superstars clutching her own stuffed version:
As it turns out however the pandas were not a patch on some of the other animals - firm favourites with all concerned were the squirrel monkeys - who were totally awesome! followed by the gibbons, the panther and the pygmy hippo.....oh and the South African crowned cranes....
What a handsome pygmy hippo
Freyja enjoys some sun....
...and rice cakes - while sitting on a turtle (not real).
See, it is on a hill.
Admiring the very handsome zebras.
No backpack this time - just the trusty buggy!
Freyja filled with anticipation about meeting the superstar pandas.
and here is Tian Tian, or was it Yang Guang, I was never really sure....
Freyja was pretty delighted with the panda sighting.
or was she just thrilled with the window and not what was behind it.....
the other one.
yep, delighted!
Freyja fancies a huge mug of coffee.....after all that excitement.
Kit: Just the Bugaboo buggy this time.
Wildlife Sightings: everything!
