the most weird tale I shall now tell concerning Bobby, the male who died last Friday morning; AR still pending.
I wasn't officially at work on the Thursday before that fateful Friday, but went anyway with my camera kit for a day to take pictures without other work-based responsibilities. I met one of the fellows, Darren, who is actually very well known and does a lot of radio broadcasting for five live and has a keen interest in photography, currently writing a book about our zoo. So we wondered about and went to Gorilla Kingdom where he took loads of pictures of Bobby before we wondered off elsewhere. On the Monday when he came to the library before a scientific meeting in the evening he mentioned something that was very weird. Of all the pictures he took on that Thursday (we took loads-I took around 800), he said when he got home and reviewed his, exclusively the ones of Bobby were corrupted on his card, before pointing out he's not one into any of this superstitious nonsense, it still freaked him out (I hadn't taken any at that point on my fingers wanting to fall off due to being cold)
But well and truly odd nether-less
