Chester Zoo – A Winter Wonderland!

enter

I wanted to share some of these images before all the snow disappears! Emma and I decided on an afternoon at the zoo last weekend (it seemed a good idea at the time!) and of course, it was a great opportunity to take the camera along and see if any of the residents would dare to come out of their hidey holes! Not many did…so opportunities were limited, but I got some great stuff in the snow that is definitely a rarity.

Here’s some of my favourites from the day…

I love the penguins! I always think that when they’re walking, they look like people dressed up in penguin suits!

003

This heron had obviously figured out when feeding time was!

004
005

The tiger looked pretty content catching up on his sleep in the afternoon sun…although it wasn’t particularly warm!

006

The black and white version of this shot just works so well with the rhino’s powerful image…

007

No idea what this little fella is called – but I loved how colourful he was….

008
009

The fantastically named….’Warty-pig’! (seriously!)

How cool is this guy? Apparently he just sits there watching the people watching him….

And finally…the low winter sun…
