Some of the more colourful creatures at the zoo

Although some of the animals had a turn of colour, it was the other visitors wandering around the zoo on Monday that really stood.

A loud party of Australians – with name badges of Kylie, Sheila, Bruce, etc – wandered around wearing flowery dresses and bright wigs.

The Northern Ireland reserved nature seemed to be in operation. I didn’t catch anyone (including myself) who bothered to ask them what they were dressed that way.

But it certainly added to the colour.
