Munich zoo quick studies

I managed to visit the Munich zoo yesterday after months , because it was closed due to lockdown, and even now I had to book my visit on time since there is only a certain number of visitors per day allowed.

My studies include the female Snowy owl, budgerigars and Hartmann`s mountain zebra.
