It was in the part of Avifauna (a bird park), that is called the Lori Landing. There are lots of Swainson’s Lorikeets there, they are from Australia. More important, I do not know where the plants in the greenhouse are from. It looks like a tropical garden to me. However, I found a similar picture of the male of Chrysopilus laetus on the internet, could this be an option? In this seems a good fit as in this species the wing tip is also darkened. This species is recorded for the UK I see.
