Geezer has been to ......

The Zoo ZSL Whipsnade .
If anyone is interested in the photos , the lynx (oops) 'link' is below.
It may take a few secs for each pic to come into focus when you click / scroll through them.
See..... I 'can' brave the elements . I must have walked miles in that chilly weather.

You've captured some great shots!

Of course, my most favourite is the tiger (and always will be) but I do like most of them.

One which makes me chuckle (in irony, I think) is the lady on the hunt ... why, when she clearly has enough money to keep/ride/dress for the hunt ... is she lacking in dental care? (Rhetorical question only )
But, back to the tiger ...

 

Thanks @"M"
My favourite animal is the 'Red Panda'. I love those little creatures. The Tiger was tricky because it's difficult shooting through the fence, and you can't get close to the fence either.

 

Knowing what I know of tigers, you wouldn't *want* to get too close (fence or no fence!)

Red pandas? Really? Off to google

 

Is that a communist panda?

 

Thanks @fat controller
Most of those, if not all, were taken with a Canon 40D, with a 70-300mm F4 L Series lens. I have been very happy with that combination. I am currently looking for a Canon 7D, but I keep getting out-bid .

 

Ok, checked them out .. cute!
But when it comes to pandas ... for me ... I prefer the big ones

 

I was lucky because they spend most of their time in the trees. When the other photographers that I was with, went for lunch, so did the Pandas . So I managed to catch them on the ground . By the time the other guys had come out of the cafe, they had gone back up the tree .

 

Now that *was* a lucky break! Top job

 

Brilliant photos NG, you haven't got my favourite though...... Giraffes

 

I will try and find one, but they were all inside

 

Not a great one @Anthony Rogers , but here you go

 

Thank you

I just think they are so graceful

 

Lovely photos! I love red pandas and the black and white ones. This little fella was on the news this morning.
