kingfisher in flight.

Cold frosty morning on the duckponds kingfisher spotting with a frozen lake was hard going there were only a few places to fish from it was a long wait and he only showed up for a minute my only attempt was this one shot, which i am pleased with as he is in flight and it's unusuall to see the underside.

My favourite cat at DZP soverign the jaguar.

Soverign has a new platform to stretch out on and lazz in the sun and he does it well, I have spent many hours of watching this magnificent cat that i may have to ask if there's a meet n greet set up with him at Dzp.

Had a break for a while gathering new ideas, viewing different wildlife areas in devon trying to locate an advantage point for this seasons rut, managed to video a rural fox resting in the morning sun on the moors.

Also had a week in Pembs Wales great dog walking country seen stacks of wildlife and walked our legs off most days.

Photo from Painton Zoo Devon worth a visit if you are around that way.

The date will be OCTOBER 30TH from 9am till 12 midday and advertised as a CRAFT FAIR the booking of tables is going well at present and i will post more info each week informing you of the crafters.
cheers for now steve.
