Animals in Action

Here are some animals in action for my photography post this week:

Longleat

In May last year we visited Longleat Safari Park (Google Maps) where we got some pretty good animal shots. There is a drive-through safari and a walk round park. The car safari was challenging because you had to have the window up most of the time and you weren’t always very close to the animals. This monkey however was an exception. He jumped on the bonnet on my new car and bit off one of one of the screen washer jet covers! Which I wasn’t best pleased about – and I still haven’t forgiven him.
