Cotswold Wildlife Park

I went for a trip there yesterday with a couple of friends.
Nicely laid out and plenty to see.

Some nice shots there Kevin.

Took these a couple of days ago, using a 5D MKIII and a Canon EF 100-400mm L lens with the Canon 1.4 Converter - autofocusing at f/8.0 (who says you cannot use them to get decent results)

This was a real pain to capture as the Chasers are very fast & it was to far away for my macro lens so i used the 70-300

Not an amazing composition but the wife and I found a few of these guys in a rock pool in Wales in a recent camping trip. To our surprise they came to feed off our fingers when we put our hands in the water.
