Little emperor

A Bearded Emperor Tamarin in fact; not taken in the back garden but at London Zoo, where I was taking part in a photography masterclass run by Dave Stevenson which was very good and I can recommend for anyone interested in picking up some advanced wildlife photo skills from an expert. I was there because the photography day was part of the prize I won last year in a Time Out competition with a photograph of my cat that I originally took as a blip so it would have been fitting to have a big cat for today's photo but, true to cat form, they were all fast asleep and showing no signs of waking up any time soon.
