V1M very kindly organised for me to go to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent for a Photographers on Safari day. This meant access inside the normal outer barriers that visitors are normally restricted behind, and enabled me to get right up against the inner enclosure, with camera lens as close as could be to the main enclosure. As well as our photographic instructor - John Wright - on hand to advise on technique, we also one of the cats' keepers, Becky, to tempt the animals out of hiding and into more photogenic positions with some tasty bits of meat.

As some of you will know I am a bit of a fan of animals and big cats in particular so I was rather in my element! Not only did I get some rather lovely photos of some gorgeous animals, but just being at such close quarters with them for the whole day was wonderful in itself.

Snow Leopard at Marwell Zoo 14/02/2015

A Male Leopard relaxing under a tree in the Serengetti. Of course then we arrived as did about 15 other vehicles. You can spend time in the Serengetti driving for hours not spotting another vehicle but word spreads fast when one of the big five are spotted.

Male leopard at the Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center near Hoedspruit outside Kruger Park.

This is an extraordinary center with a very practical approach to rehabilitation of injured animals. Well worth the visit.

Snow Leopards

Brookfield Zoo

October 20, 2013

It's been 4 weeks since I photographed Brookfield Zoo's Snow Leopard cub, Everest. He has grown quite a bit, and boy does he like to play! He keeps his mom, Sarani, very busy! It is so fun to watch them interact with one another.

These two leopards were busy ensuring there would be leopards for the next generation to watch...
