Gorgeous Gamba may look the picture of innocence here, but can be a menace in Bart's chimp group! He's always held ambitions to climb the hierarchy, but he forgets he must be nice to the ladies to do so- so he has never got far! 📷 by Wendy

'Lake' Lodmoor was quiet on Saturday apart from this pristine looking Oystercatcher.

Happy Valentine's Day this Saturday! 💗 Here's some ideas for changing the day from pink to green this year... 💚 Reduce: Buy a present with less packaging 💚 Reuse: Keep any wrapping paper or gift bags for using for a different occasion 💚 Recycle: e.g. glass bottles and cards.

Why not give a repair café a try? Simply bring your broken item along to a nearby event and sit with a friendly volunteer repairer while they fix it. You can even enjoy a cuppa and a slice of cake. Most repair cafés are free to attend, though donations are always appreciated.

Bornean orang-utan Hujan seems to be growing before our eyes- and now at 8 years old he suddenly seems like a grown up, particularly when next to the infants in the nursery!

Quick visit to Lodmoor during a sunny spell yesterday and Greenfinches were feeding on the dead blackberry seeds.
