A visit to Chester Zoo

[etherow]

I visited Chester Zoo today with my wife. I got few photos while there.

Firstly, two shots of the pylon near the entrance.

A few pylons along the line, near the buffy headed capuchins, there is this pylon, which has different insulators on each side.

I did get a few photos of the animals too, but what are they compared to pylons?

It is quite common with pylons having different insulators on each side.

There's some L2 pylons in Chippenham, Wiltshire that are like that.

From the 1956 edition of Systema Pylonae:

The PL16 D2 aka ED51106 or occasionally 17/5789 Pylonus knoxus scotius vulgaris. This species is commonly found throughout the country. Most commonly seen with 7 wires but there are subspecies with 4,5 or 8. Another subgroup has large ears. Can be seen throughout the UK and Northern Ireland since the species colonised in the '50's.

Most of us would probably appreciate the snaps of the buffy headed capuchins too please if you can put them up in the off topic section.
