A DAY IN THE PARK
My latest trip to Highland Wildlife Park was to partake in a wildlife photography day run by Go Wild Scotland which I shared with a couple from Ayrshire and instructor Arron, all of whom toted flashy Canons.
My Pentax did its best to keep up and produced a few decent images, some of which can be seen on my Flickr site.
The day was another scorcher, particularly at feeding time around the tiger enclosure when mass body heat raised the temperature even higher. The park was packed. I again failed to get any quality tiger cub shots but there was compensation in my first red squirrels, and Amy the baby snow monkey continues to be enticingly photogenic.
The cost of the day included a year's membership of the park, Edinburgh Zoo and a dozen other similar establishments so I'll have no excuse for not returning until I have some satisfactory tiger cubs in the bag. Assuming they've not grown up before I manage it.
