Does this mean that Spring is almost upon us?

When you don’t charge your camera before you go to the wildlife park. So you have to use your old one.
Then moments like this happen. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Still a beautiful moment!

Took this photo three years ago.
I’d love to capture it again with my current knowledge and eye.
Hope you like it!

These prehistoric looking birds are becoming more and more fascinating to me every time I watch them.

The Great Cormorant.

“Large cormorant found nearly worldwide. Note large size, white patch on throat, and lack of crest. Breeding adults show circular white patch on flanks. Immatures typically have contrasting white belly; African “White-breasted” also has extensive white underparts in all plumages. Often spotted standing on rocks or pilings. Dives frequently, feeding on fish. Found in many types of water bodies, ranging from rivers to reservoirs to marine environments.”

A nice couple of hours at Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve today with the family.
I could spend all day every day taking photos of amazing animals for you all to see.
Anyone fancy funding that life? 😉

Do you have a favourite animal from this selection?

Rest well special boy.
Such a beautiful character and personality at The Big Cat Sanctuary

Thinking of all the staff and keepers at this incredibly sad time.

Happy Sunday!
Hope everyone is enjoying the weather?
These two certainly love the wet, sloppy conditions.

The majestically handsome Mischa at Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve last week.
I was mesmerised by him.
Stunning Amur Tiger.
