Went to Cotswolds wildlife park on Sunday for Kathryns mums birthday. Kathryn now has a 40D, and my f2.8 17-50mm Tamron. This left me with a choice of f1.8 50mm or f2.8 100mm indoors, and no tripod. I think some of them came out ok though

It seems no zoo is complete without Meerkats now.

There was a falconry display on when we were there. Following with the rest of the images, I did closeup portraits, as I didn't want to show the captivity side of things, and the birds had the leather leashes on their legs.

This one was tricky. No tripod, and very dark with just moon/blue lighting. HAd to whack the ISO up as high as it goes I think, and even then it was a 1/20 exposure.

Wish the glass reflection wasn't there for this one.

I did notice a few times when I was using the 100-400mm that some animals looked in my direction. I'm wondering if they could hear the image stabilisation. It certainly seemed as though the Timberwolf and Fruit bat especially looked at me when I started the IS.
