Recently spotted in our Dinosaur Realm! A robin has made a nest in the mouth of one of the fiercest prehistoric predators we have here at the Zoo – the T-Rex! It’s great to be seeing more local wildlife around the Zoo, and possibly even a first in the history of nest locations. Don’t worry! This T-Rex won’t bite, he’s being very welcoming to the Robin family and is staying statue still! Where’s the most unusual place you’ve spotted a birds nest? | Colchester Zoo
