One of my goals for this year is to make sure I make the most of having the pandas at Edinburgh Zoo – the pandas will be returning to China possibly as early as October 2023, so I’m planning to make at least one trip a month to start saying my goodbyes to my favourite pandas. The past weekend was a little windy, but otherwise perfect for a trip to the zoo! Tian Tian was particularly stand out, she was active eating and moving around. She even stopped eating with her back to the glass to turn around and eat facing me. But an absolute highlight was watching her pick up a big stick of bamboo and make her way up to platforms, onto the edge of her big hollow tree stump and head on inside to enjoy her snack away from prying eyes^
