Most of the time these guys sit up in there tree and make most shots a nightmare " Or not worth taking.."

Anyhow last week they played ball..!!

Here is a few They did everything from eating infront of you. walking in the undergrowth. climing the lower branches. drinking from the pool at the side . " I even caught one in mid air doing a jump lol"

So some of the shots.

love the expression on the face in number 2 - beautiful animals (probably my favourite animal). Nice shots

#3 for me - love the expression in #2, but I think the focus is slightly out... Of course if you didn't have such bloody expensive equipment, you'd have a larger DOF and you'd have gotten away with it...

The red panda's are fantastic, if I could take one animal home as a pet it would be a red panda (although i'm not to sure about them rubbing there backsides on everything!)

Number 2 for me though.
