Really enjoyable day out for a tenner. Definitely recommend it :)

Good shots like the owl he looks so fluffy

Nice Set, looks like the Lemur is one of the Twins, could spend hours taking their pic, been visiting them regulary since they were born in March.

[DinoS]

great shots, what lens did you use?

[dakid]

Thanks guys.

They have full EXIF, but I was using the 70-200 f/2.8 the whole time with AV mode on f/2.8, mostly at ISO 200 but going up to ISO 800 for the indoor shots.

nice set, love the lemur :) Cotswold is a great place to visit :)

This is one of my fave places for these sorts of shots. Glad the Meercats are still there it's been a while since I've been.

Nice set :thumbs:
I was there most of Tuesday as well, I guess our paths may well have crossed.

Were you the chap with the white lens I was talking to at the Mongooses? :)

[Cobra]

Were you the chap with the white lens I was talking to at the Mongooses? :)

Nope not me but I did see a couple of other guys with white lenses ( as well as me)
I was stood next to One chap briefly who was engrossed with the owls, and I had the Mrs in tow

Meerkat looks sad and wants to jump of the rock beautiful set :thumbs:

You have produced some beautifully sharp images, I particulary like the Ring-tailed Lemur, using the branches to frame its face sets it apart from the other images. The light in its eyes also drawes you right in. However the shot of the 4. Prairie Dog is also pretty cool. Hope all is well and keep up the good work.
