I was inside the Coati enclosure this morning with a pair of juveniles (born in March), a keeper and a girl on some work experience.

These guys are seriously hard to photograph; they never stop fidgeting or moving! There also wasn't much light in the enclosure, the roof being covered with vines, so I had to go bonkers with the ISO, hence why there's so much grain. Not fond of using a flash gun.

# island
Is that Thorn Island?
I have been on there and into the fort. It's a very weird place, with a tacky pub and lots of strange things. The owners were selling it at the time, they used it for some kind of holiday adventure place. God knows why as it's miserable.

# coo.
You must have been standing on the outcrop cliff to take those photos. I remember a telephone line reaching out from there to the island. Must be gone now.
It's got it's own diesel generators, huge underground cisterns and water purification.

Once we got on there we realized the disadvantages of being on a miserable concrete and stone island cut off from the world!

# Sounds like £200 of fun to be honest
