Default 1...2...3... all together awwwww CUTE !

Today we went to a small famr near us that has a small selection of animals they breed ... Babies were out in force today from the regular to the rare.

First up ... not a baby but Meerkats everyone loves.



This lil fell/girl spent all day clinging to mom's back luckily at feeding time he/she got down



Sadly he turned as I took the shot ain't that always the way ... do have more but Flickr says reached limit

Third up Canadian Lynx in fact the only litter ever had in Britain two lil pups this one was cute as a button in the sun .. looking for mom at feeding time



Lastly Camera fence and Parrot with a wicked sense of humour... He posed for lots of shots dancing extending wings and then decided to have some fun with me shortly after this was taklen he nipped the camera the big black thing is his tongue to me it looks like he is going WASSSSSSSUUUUUP!



Have to say for the first time ever I took 400 shots this day and have a keep rate in excess of 75%.. YAY !

was slightly amazed that using Aperture Priority worked for me to get rid of the fence so well on most ... Thanks to here ... Thank you for looking

Good for you....nice shots...always fun to see the babies. When we went to South Africa in October last year...it seemed like all the animals had had babies...never saw so many before. It was wonderful.

Hiya FoG, the animals certainly are cute, but your pictures are quality.
Quality pictures, well captured and presented, beautifully composed with great colours, light and shadows, nice job
