There was a bit of excitement at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. This Rufous Night Heron dropped in to the Pelican pond for a visit. I think he was after some free food!

Hutan, the Sumatran Tiger, was exploring his enclosure at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia, when he heard the clicking of cameras - and came to check us out!

I could never understand why Lions are called King of the Jungle - when they don't live in the jungle. This old Lion at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia, was doing what all Lions like to do - lying in wait in the long grass!

This Monarch Butterfly - also known as a Wanderer - lives in the Butterfly House at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. They spend all day fluttering around in the heat and humidity - so a rest is required from time to time!

The Otters at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia, were getting quite excited - watching leaves falling from the trees. It was easy to imagine the one on the right was saying goo'day!

The Sumatran Tigers were taking it in turns to exercise in their enclosure at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. This one did what all Tigers enjoy - lying in wait for their prey!

The Spoonbills at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia, were feeling frisky. This male was trying hard to catch the attention of a female.

A rare sight - a Tasmanian Devil out in the sun! There was a bit of a crowd around his enclosure at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. I think he just came to check us out.

This family of Swamp Hens had taken over a pond in the Tasmanian Devil's enclosure at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. They had 2 chicks and this one got a feed, Amazing what you see at the Zoo!

A few months ago a solitary Rufous Night Heron appeared at the Pelican Pond at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. The word must have spread about the free food - now there are at least half a dozen of these gorgeous birds!

These colourful birds really are the same species - believe it or not! The red and blue one on the left is the female and the green one is the male Eclectus Parrot. They have a nest in this hollow tree in the Great Aviary at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. Think she's scolding him - maybe he didn't do his share of the housework!

One of the largest butterflies in Australia, these Cairns Birdwings are also amongst the most colourful. This beautiful specimen lives in the Butterfly House at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria.

The male Cairns Birdwing butterflies are more colourful, but I think this female is still beautiful. Taken at the Butterfly House at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia.

It's taken me months to get some nice shots of Kanzi, the baby Gorilla, with his Dad Otana. Otana looks unhappy about something - and is being comforted by his son! These Western Lowland Gorillas live at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia.
