so whilst admiring all the wonderous wild animals, we stopped at my hornbill to take some photos and have a sneaky listen to what people were saying about him. when who should happen to be showing some guests round the exhibition, Mark Shand, Elephant Family charity founder :D so being a bit of a geek and a luvvie i had to stop him and get a photo with him and my birdie. we had a nice little chat about the artists day on the 24th September the great reception the event has been getting from the public and press and he introduced me to his friends who seemed delighted to meet one of the artists :) it was a rather random but a fabulous coincidence and rounded off a lovely day beautifully.
