A Brief Background
I spent many years working with animals in West Africa, first with Gerald Durrell in Cameroon in 1957 (see Durrell's book 'A Zoo in my Luggage'), and then developing the Zoological Garden at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, from 1963 to 1979. Subsequently, I was involved in various capacities with Chessington Zoo, Cotswold Wildlife Park and Windsor Safari Park, all in the UK.
The images on this website tell some of the stories arising from these various roles. The site was first established in early 2010 and will take some time to complete.
