Rainbow Lorikeet

 At Bristol Zoo there is a wonderful area where you can walk amongst the free-flying Lorikeets. For a small charge you are then able to feed them. The birds seem to really enjoy this and are rather greedy with some people getting around three birds perching on their arms. The bright colours of the plumage are always eye catching.

Taking the Plunge

Taken at ZSL London Zoo last summer. The Penguin Beach exhibit is wonderful with its large glass fronted area so you can watch the birds swimming. I managed to capture this shot more by luck than anything as the Penguins are so fast when swimming about that most photos turn out as black and white blurs.
