Pat has visited the Banham Zoological Gardens which is a wonderful home for many species. In her photos we can meet many of them.
Banham Zoological Gardens was opened in 1968 with a collection of pheasants and parrots by local Norfolk resident Martin Goymour – it was originally called ‘Banham Zoo’. Run by the Zoological Society of East Anglia, Banham Zoological Gardens is the perfect place to connect with nature.

Enjoy a full day out with plenty of activities to thrill and entertain your family, all whilst learning more about some incredible species – from Asian leopards and Russian tigers to more familiar animals found in our own British wildlife.
There’s a lovely snow leopard couple in this zoo.

Dear Pat,
I had to google to find out where Banham Zoo is, in Norfolk, England.
It is indeed home to a variety of beautiful animals from all over the world. Of course my favourites today are the little bovine and the snow leopards!
Thank you and best regards

Thank you very much dear Pat and Mervi.
Best wishes to all the animals in the Banham Zoological Gardens.
Dear Pat!
You get around quite a bit… Thank you for taking us with you and sharing great pictures of the animals!
Big cats are always a marvellous sight.
When I see the resting and deeply relaxed beautiful snow leopard, I automatically get tired myself and start yawning.
The sight of the wide awake manul makes me wake up again…
