I made the most of my time off today with a trip to the British Wildlife Centre along with my Dad and friends Sharon and Andrew. The light was a bit hit and miss but the sun popped out from behind the clouds at strategic moments and rather conveniently this often happened when the animals we were watching at the time were striking a particularly photogenic pose!
