I knew I should have gone! Great pics mate.

Fun day? I've never be personally..

 

[Cobra]

Cheers Phil,
yes it was a good day great day, made even better by the company of course

As Yvonne mentioned though, the sun was a nightmare, when it appeared
low in the sky,
showing up the wire, and reflecting off the glass.

Well worth the trip though if you are ever in the area

Lion and tiger close-ups are corkers! Do you carry Gremlin around in a backpack?

Some superb shots there, just love the ape shot, "OMG fame at last"

All great shots, the Lion portrait is brilliant though very menacing

Another great set, that lion looks really pleased to see you

And if I did that, I'd never get a shot, she scares the crap outta of everything (including me )

Hi Chris, nice set.

I think for the animal, more than your skills, the lion head shot is great. That's one hellava stare!

I just said "smile" and the rest is history as they say

Cracking shots! The Honey Badger never seems to stay still long enough for me to get a close up!

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to comment, Its appreciated

As for the Honey badger, the little bugger was very active!
And yes, it was a struggle to get something that resembled it,
rather than a black and white motion blur
that's for sure
