What do photographers like about Bristol Zoo Project?

' I love photographing all the animals at the zoo. Not only are the enclosures natural looking but all the animals are in amazing condition and make great photos. It has helped me develop more skills in photography with the practice of wildlife at the same time as the animals having space to roam.'
