Yes
We took a run up to the Highland Wildlife Park at Kingussie yesterday, these are some of the shots, unfortunately not the brightest of days, which isn't ideal for the 100-400, but here they are anyway. Everyone had a great time and will definitely make the trip again.

well the shot for me is Emily! What a lovely happy photo! I love your titles too and of course the best one is the 'nipple' one! Doesn't she look good against the heather? :)

The photo of Emily could have a better background, but one can't always plan everything ;)

Thanks, glad you like them.

The badger? what do you think......;)
 
Great stuff. Obviously a nice lens and a star daughter. pure sunshine that first pic of her(y).

Lets keep WWII in the past Slapo ;), that doesn't do much for a lovely girl I am afraid :nono:
 
Thanks for all the comments, she's actually my grandaughter, god don't it make you feel young NOT!

She had a great time, we spent about 3 hours there in total and she ran pretty much the whole way round, what energy and she never even fell asleep in the car on the trip (2 Hours) home.

Quite chuffed with the animal images as it was a poorly lit day but we missed the best shots of the Timber Wolves by about 5 minutes as one of them was standing atop a blown down tree watching the ranger bring lunch, we saw it as we drove into the car park but by the time we got out and over to the enclosure they had been fed and were over the other side of the run :crying:

Palnning another trip up before the end of the year so hopefully get some better shots then.

Mike.
