Outside the entrance is an enchanting ‘steam powered’ clock that does a display on the hour. Inside is a large oil style painting of a Victorian ornithologists study surrounded by silhouettes of various species of bird. Personally I found the Pavilion a very good reconciliat...

The Armchair Zoologist: October 2008
http://armchairzoologist.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 October 2008. Out of the Armchair. And into the Deckchair. Any way we got to Wadi Tarabat and set up the light trap (and the deckchairs). It was fairly simple; consisting of two white sheets on the ground with a double bulb, which gave out UV and visible light, in the middle. Due to the breeze we did not get any large beetles (which Mike, the beetle expert, was hoping for) but there were other moments of interest. Picture and text by Brigitte Howarth here.
