And in June Tian Tian was also up and about when I visited, she even went outside and I was able to get some pictures through a little hole in the fence! These ones are definitely among my favourite pictures I have of her. She definitely has been much more relaxed in the new enclosure the past year or so and it’s been great to see more of her.

Yang Guang June 2023 (Edinburgh Zoo)
I hadn’t been seeing Yang Guang quite as active recently, so I was happy to see him outside in June 2023 on my one visit – even if I only got a couple of photos and mostly of his rear^ He’s still a cute panda, and I already have plenty of pictures of him from my July visit to share soon!
Tian Tian May 2023 (Edinburgh Zoo)
May 2023 brought me two visits to Edinburgh Zoo to see the pandas – and Tian Tian surprised me on both times by being active and up and about in her indoor enclosure so I got plenty of pictures! Without further ado, enjoy the photos:

Better late than never – in October 2022 I finally got my next trip to Pairi Daiza to see the pandas! This trip was my postponed June 2020 trip so while I’m sad that I didn’t get to see the twins as super playful 1-year olds, at least I was able to get there eventually. I took my mum on this trip and we stayed in the Pairi Daiza Resort, more on that in a future post about the rest of Pairi Daiza, meaning 2 days spent with the 5 Belgian pandas. October was a great time of year to visit, it wasn’t too busy and the pandas enjoyed the cooler weather by spending time outside which was great for getting pictures!

With the weather looking that little bit nicer in April 2023, I spotted both pandas outside on my visit that month! This was the first time I have seen either of them outside this year and at least with Yang Guang when it gets more into the late Spring/Summer he will spend a lot of time outside, so it’s a great season to visit. It was luck that I went at a time when Tian Tian was coming into season and thus naturally spending time outside as she was a bit restless, and alike in 2019, I even saw her doing some water play which is just amazing to see. I’ve only ever seen her outside in the Spring when she’s in season, so I’m not sure I’ll be lucky enough to see her outside again so this was definitely special.
