I was in zoo in Zagreb recently. The zoo is nice enough for me, and since I wasn’t in any other zoo, I can’t compare it with others. But, the trouble was that the net on the cages is often to dense and thus preventing photographing the animals without it showing in the photo. Others that have some sort of glass, it’s blurred and often scraped, so no photography trough that as well. Solution of this problem would be to provide openings in the net size of let’s say 10×10 cm. Of course, where that’s possible. That would give us place where we could photograph the animals without fence in the way.
I’m writing all this because of this little owl,with interesting glance. But if you look more careful, you’ll see a fence running over the bird. And, yes I know that opening of 10x10cm in case of this bird wouldn’t be brightest idea. 
But, there could be installed some kind of glass. Well… I suppose that professionals get better access to the animals and don’t have problems of this kind. And for rest of us, it’s only for our album, blog or whatewer, so it’s not so important if sometimes there is a fence on the photo.
So, my dear reader, I’m asking you, did you have similar problem in the zoo in your town or country? How it goes there? Feel free to write your thoughts in comment on this blog.

Cool glance of this bird. I think it clearly explains name of the post.
