ThrowBack Thursday; London Zoo

For this week’s throwback thursday I have a photo of an owl for you. It’s one of my favourite photos that I took at the London Zoo. I surely didn’t expect that a big city like London would have a big zoo in the heart of the city.

It’s not only big (and pretty) but it’s also part of ZSL (Zoological Society of London), an charity dedicated to worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats, not only through the London Zoo but also through their projects in more than 50 countries worldwide. A good cause, because unfortunately many species are on the list to be extinct or lose their habitat.

But back to the owl. As you can see I get sidetracked just looking at this photo, which means it’s a good addition for the throwback thursday series, it has a story to tell. If you’re ever in London, visit the zoo. You not only find this handsome owl there but also many ways to contribute to ZSL. Including adopting an animal, or how about being a keeper for a day?!
