Absolutely love the 5th one! It looks like a magic eye picture :)

Very envious :D

Awww cuddly - until they EAT YOU! :D

Not sure quite how to pick a favourite, maybe 7 or 2 (looks like there's a tasty snack on the way there).

Rather curious about the odd effect at the top of 6. Was it shot through something? :dunno:

[Matblack]

Shot thought bars but that's not effecting the shot, I think its just the depth of field :)

Weird effect though. I didn't notice it on the first pass through the photos, but spotted something similar in 9 and then went back.

Still, glad you had a good day of it. Did you have to jump out of the way much? :)

Number 7 is my favourite :D

Awesome pictures MB, I think the DOF is a bit narrow in a couple but that's just me being fussy.

[Toby]

Excellent pics - told you you'd enjoy it :D

Thanks guys

sharper than a page of Oscar Wilde witticisms that have been rolled up into a point, sprinkled with lemon juice and jabbed into someone's eye

Know exactly what you mean about the two lenses. I used my 17-70 for the closeups like the lion's nose but the vast majority of shots were with the 70-200 - such an awesome piece of glass.

I also really appreciated the internal zooming of it as it made life so much easier when it was physically butted up against the fencing :)
