We had a pretty lazy morning today, I'm still not feeling my best and it was nice to just spend some time chatting to James grandparents (Bill and Janine).
After lunch they took us out to the Owl and Monkey Haven which didn't take us too long because it was quite small but it was a really pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Most of the animals had been rescued from zoos where they were bullied, and in the case of some of the monkeys, from the illegal pet trade. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos because they were all behind wire mesh and they don't make for very good photos but here are some of the animals we got to see with pictures from the Owl and Monkey Haven website:
 |
| Siamangs |
 |
| The Javan Langurs (these have multiple stomachs like cows and can't eat bananas!) |
 |
| Red Bellied Tamarins |
 |
| Colobus Monkeys |
We saw many Owls that looked familiar to us from our own Owl Encounter, but this particular character was new - the Snowy Owl (photo also courtesy of the Owl and Monkey Haven website):
We spent the rest of the afternoon at Fiona's and then back to Bill and Janine's for dinner (or the Hubbard's as Fiona calls them...)
