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.
