these are all great! Love all the captions! especially on number 3! I do think for me though, number 4 is gorgeous, very majestic and powerful image.

Fantastic!!!!! Love em all.Love the Meerkat, could watch them for hours.Lion is great.
I was thinking of going there soon with the kids, and my new camera
, never been. Is it a nice place?
Going to that other place you recommended soon, the bird place. I forgotten the name now
Did you do the car friendly route? Also did you take all of these through the car window? Sorry loads of questions

Nice captures again SK
I'd be really pleased with No 4 though...it's one of those oportunities that doesn't present itself too often, but you've taken it very well indeed.

The other place is Gauntlet B.O.P centre and bizarrely enough they do a display at Knowsley on some days.
Knowsley is well worth a visit, the actual route is about 5 miles and takes about an hour to drive. The only place you have to keep the windows shut is near the lions and the monkeys for obvious reasons. I went the car friendly way and the only thing you miss is the monkeys poohing on the car
There are other attractions that are there. like sea lion shows and a little fairground with rides and the like.

Thanks for the info
Looks like Knowsley is added to the list of things to take my new toy to. I am hoping to go to Jodrell Bank this weekend, been once before and my son found it interesting. I really want to get a picture that is decent of the Lovell Telescope.
So I hope the weather is nice so we can go
