Zoo Trip #18: Marwell Wildlife

In September I made two trips to Marwell Wildlife in the hope of seeing their new snow leopard cubs and was unsuccessful on both occasions (Zoo Trips 15 and 16), though I had a great time anyway. Today was third time lucky as I got to see all three cubs at close range and having play fights near their mother on a ledge. What is more, as it was near to closing time at the zoo I had the whole spectacle entirely to myself.

The four hours I spent there passed in a flash and I got 236 shots in all (though some of these were complete fails and already deleted). A set of the day has been started and images will be added over the next few days.
