Bristol Zoo Down the Loo?

Another victim of Covid-19 has been the 185 year-old Bristol Zoo. The zoo has had a prime location in Clifton (near the suspension bridge) and has been much involved in educational and conservation programmes. The pandemic-associated losses in finance have mean't, however, that the entire zoo is relocating to what was their satellite site (The Wild Place Project) near the M5 motorway. I do hope they flourish in this location, as they have been an excellent teaching resource for me over the decades.
